martymcfly Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 (edited) i installed apache and I am trying to get it to work. As it stands right now, on my computer, if I go to http://127.0.0.1/me, i see my files I put there. I can also do this frokm another computer on the network by doing htttp://192.168.2.4/. I have port forwarding set up, but i can never have it so if I go to my public IP /me, it shows the files. It always brings up the router config if i dont do /me (of coure). Is there anything i am possibly missing here? edit: Im a n00b, so go easy on me Edited May 5, 2005 by martymcfly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henbenley Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 go into your router settings and to "port forwarding" there you should be able to forward port 80 (http traffic) and port 21 (ftp traffic) (and any other ports your gonna need open). forward them to whatever your internal IP address is of the machine with apache. that should work, then you should be able to go to your external IP and see your files there.

martymcfly Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 I have port forwarding set up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henbenley Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 I have port forwarding set up 473287[/snapback] i missed those 6 hidden little words. according to your problems it seems as though its not set up correctly. what router are you using and your only using 1 router right? maybe you setup forwarding on your cable box and not the router?? i dunno just trying to offer some suggestions apache seems to be working so it looks like its somethign wiht your router Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronamd Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 127.0.0.1, if i'm not mistaken is not the public ip address, but a virtual one.... you might want to go to www.whatismyip.com to find out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henbenley Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 127.0.0.1, if i'm not mistaken is not the public ip address, but a virtual one.... you might want to go to www.whatismyip.com to find out 473401[/snapback] from his post im pretty sure he realizes that. one other thing i just htough of: do you have a firewall? im not sure if you have one but that would stop outside traffic from getting in and still allow you to see the files because you are inside the network.

cybergrunt69 Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 If you're feeling trusting, you could post your current public IP. The people here may be able to help out a bit... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

markiemrboo Posted May 8, 2005 Posted May 8, 2005 Your router has web access doesn't it? If that's the case, your router has your external IP, so if someone then tries to go to that IP they're going to get the routers page come up, from it's in built web server. You have two options, change the routers web server port (I can do this on my modem, not sure if that'll be an option for you), or set up the port forwarding to use a different port, for example 8080 -> yourcomputer:80 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
