RandomZero Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I installed XAMPP on my PC and everything works, but sometimes people can't see my site. I'm thinking it has something to do with the fact that I have a dynamic IP and 2 NICs, so I can't actually set an IP for apache to listen on. Anyone have an idea on preventing apache to listen on both NICs and set it up for the one with a dynamic IP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 http://dyndns.org is a great service that will allow you to use a dynamic ip to host a webserver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomZero Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 Yeah I've got that all set up. Let me explain my situation a little further. I'm running vista, with 2 nics. One nic is connected to my modem, which gives my pc a public, dynamic IP. The 2nd nic is set up for ICS to my 2nd pc, which isn't point to the internet at all. What i want to do is set up apache to only listen on my first nic, and not both. Which is possibly causing this problem of mine. When I visit the url of my server, it works fine, but if someone else tries it, it doesn't. Most of the time after someone else tries it, it doesn't even work for me until I restart apache.. So I'm looking for a way to not have to restart the server every time it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomZero Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 Yeah so my server works fine on port 8080. Anyone know why it doesn't work on port 80? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Seems your isp might be blocking it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomZero Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 Yeah after a quick google search I managed to come to that conclusion. Oh well, it works now. Any way to configure my server to automatically pick connections without having to add :8080 to the end of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 You can have dyndns redirect requests from port 80 to 8080. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomZero Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 How would I go about doing that? There's an option to use port 8245, but not port 8080. Nor can I specify it anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
