[SOLVED] Help needed with domain name/router/apache config

[Sheepeeshaun]

I'm running Apache2Triad (just standard apache) on xp and I'm trying to set up my dynamic DNS domain name so that it is the equivalent to what I see on localhost. The domain I have set up is sheepee.mine.nu (and when I visit this URL I get my router homepage) and I need to know what to change in my httpd.conf so that this is what happens. I have been trying this for ages and never have gotten it to work.

 

Any help appreciated!

You need to add the line....

 

127.0.0.1 sheepee.mine.nu

 

to your hosts file. No idea where it resides in windows, search for it and you will find it however.

Ok, I've done this and now when I visit sheepee.mine.nu locally I get the site. How do I go about letting people over the internet access the server?

 

httpd.conf:

Listen sheepee.mine.nu:80

 

Is there any test to see if my isp blocks port 80?

You need to set up a rule on your router telling it to forword connections on port 80 to your servers internal IP address. 

 

If when you type in the address you get a responce (eg a web page appears) then port 80 is not blocked.  In your case if you get your router so it is not blocked!  You should be aware that trying to accress that domain name from inside your network may not work. (might just hang in confusion).  You need to test it from somewhere else.
