| Do you notice this topic is rather old and no one is using it? Hmmm. Oookay. I run Apache.  |

| many isp's block port 80 so cannot get through..................try changing apache to listen to port 8080 and then try with the "ipaddress:8080" |

| Disable the firewall! |
| Guest - Jun-26-2005 server time |
| Firewall on server and client disabled, connection was refused |

| Would you like an apple pie with that? |
| Red Squirrel - Jun-25-2005 server time |
| XP is a PIA to network, but as a start, ensure the firewall is disabled. |

Alright, I'm running easyPHP and, while in the future I'd like to be accessable to the public, for now all I want is for the rest of my LAN to be able to access my server to Beta test the game I'm building. from here, I can get there from localhost and 127.0.0.1, but, after checking my internal and external IP addresses (192.168.2.69 from my wireless router, as opposed to what comcast says it is and what everyone else sees). I've tried simply typing "SaintMobile" (The name of the computer the server is running on) to no avail. Oh, all computers on my LAN are running XP. Pro for the server, and home for the rest. Is this an HTTP server configuration problem, or a networking issue. I've been working this issue for about a week, and am about here  Any help would be greatly appriciated, Thanks. Saint |

Oh God. You should seriously get her to stop that. I entered my card number for a site selling the PSP((the new Sony handheld)) for 0.01 pounds((I don't even use that currency)). So I guess I'm a dumbass too. |

| Well it's true there's lot of scams and such so I guess people have a reason to be scared, but with big companies like web hosts, ebay, etc they can be trusted so nothing to worry about. My grandma, on the other hand, inserts her cc # whenever it asks, not knowhing why it's needed. really bad.  |

My mom is iffy about internet transactions too. She thinks just because it's the internet you will get ripped off. |
| Red Squirrel - Mar-02-2005 server time |
| Yeah, I'd say if you only transfer a few gigs per month you're probably safe. But I'd ask first to ensure it's ok since I did the mistake of not asking and nearly lost Iceteks, when it was first started. They found out and I had to shut it down then a month later I got paid hosting. Was a PIA since it involved convincing my mom that 128-bit security for her credit card would be hard to crack and that it's safe to enter it in. |

What about, say, "Here Be Legos", a site with images of Lego creations? Pretty small. |
| Red Squirrel - Mar-02-2005 server time |
I don't think many actually do allow it, unfortunatly. The best thing to do is to ask them. My isp allows gaming servers and maybe small personal home pages, but no ecomerce sites, or big sites like this one. (which can sort of fall into ecomerce - the non evil type.  ) |
| Pyr-O-Rgasm - Mar-02-2005 server time |
| Red, you know which ISP's allow servers and which ones don't? I'm afraid AOL and Roadrunner don't. Am I correct? My mom gave me her old computer and I was going to set it up as a server. |

| 80 is default, that way you don't have to type it in the url. ex: http://www.iceteks.com automaticly goes to port 80 so it's the same as saying http://www.iceteks.com:80 |
| Phil - Feb-27-2005 server time |
| Which port should I use? |
| Red Squirrel - Feb-26-2005 server time |
| Yes, but did you forward the ports through your router? You need to forward them to the local machine that is running the server. |

| Whenever I go to http://my-IP:port/mysql it does not load. I am typing the IP of my rooter, is this correct? |

| i cant get acess to my site if i put in http://ip,only when i type in localhost,HELP!? |
| Red Squirrel - Jan-20-2005 server time |
| Ping your domain to see if it is in fact working and pointing to the right IP. As for the root, that's whatever you set it to, it's where the main directory is for your files. |

| Oups!!!! i am sorry I didn't mean to post in red it was a mistake  Thx  |

| Hello everyone !!! I just read your article, which i found very very interesting, and wanting to thank you for all you help. I have a website, i am running easyphp server i can access the site if i type in my http://ip, but not with my domain name My domain name is registered with no-IP service, i have a small program that is alerting their dns server if my ip address happen to change, as it is a dynamic ip, i am also behind a router "SOHO". What can i do to be able to access the site with "http://mydomain.co.uk ? When you say to add the index.html file in the root, excuse my ignorance, but where is the root? I followed some instructions while i was setting up the easyphp, to put all the files of my website in a document called www, so i can acces it with my ip and not Domain name. Any suggestions will be appreciated Thanking you in advance  |

| well http is the most important part, the php and such is not required but a must have for most modern websites. Apache is the best solution. In that article it was windows apache. Usually for windows you go with IIS but apache is still more secure. |
| Guest - Jun-10-2004 server time |
| even with a dns, and domain, and php you can't host your own website... you're missing the most important thing! do you have an http server service/program thingy? try apache... |

That site has lot of useful info! I just wish my isp would allow servers  |

How do you have a static IP? Do you have an index.html in your document root? Let me change that.. you didn't mention which webserver you are using... we need to know that. |
