GroundVibes Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Hi all!Alright, so I looked up some posts about how to properly set up your router / apache / firewall to accept users from the internet to be able to access your webpages through port 80...Alright, so...1- On my router i defined port 80 to my computer's localhost ip address.2- I have turned off my firewall.3- I looked up in my httpd.conf file to see if the right line was indeed in place which is "ServerName localhost:80", which I think is the right line to be in place.4- I checked to see if my port 80 was open with https://www.grc.com/ ... And it said "stealth", but from what I read from a previous post, it should be simply "Open", simply saying that my router isn't properly setted up or so... I checked it out and I am pretty sure my router is fine!5- I tried accessing my website from the internet with my IP Address and it worked properly, but it simply doesn't from anybody else outside my local network.So, well I don't know where to go from here, I am almost certain the problem is with my httpd.conf file. My httpd.conf file hasn't been modified, maybe there is an additional thing I need to set up. Anyway, thank you if you can help me out!

apacheguy Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Is there any message in your error log when someone from the external side tries to access your site?If you are certain that you have properly configured your router to open port 80, then it is possible that there is another firewall in between the router and your machine. It may even be a software firewall, such as windows firewall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apacheguy Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Your friend is getting an error code 404 from the server according to your log file. The file he is requesting (musiclist.zip) doesn't exist on your server or it was named incorrectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
