kain2396 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I'm trying to setup apache2 to serve out some pages from my home computer. Now, I haven't discarded the possibility that my ISP is blocking the webserver, I think I'm configuring something wrong. I can see the directory and all the pages if I look at it through localhost, but external browsers don't get anything. Am I doing something wrong?

chronister Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 There has to be a DNS entry for your server in order for the outside world to see it. If you are like me and don't want a full on DNS name for the home testing server, then you can use the public IP and set the machine to answer to that ip address. Can you view the site by using your public ip address?? If your machines ip is 192.168.X.XXX or 10.X.X.X then your machines IP is a private IP range and you can get your public ip by going to www.whatismyip.com Check on that and post back.

Guest prozente Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 If you are behind a router and using PAT/NAT then you will need to forward the external port to your computer on your internal network. This is done in your router. For more specific instructions regarding your router see: http://portforward.com/routers.htm Also ensure that apache isn't only listening on your loopback address (127.0.0.1) Look in your apache configuration to see what address it is set to listen on.
