Apache 2.0

[Fuzz]

I just installed this on my home server. My home server connects through the internet through my other computer. I can't get the server to work over the internet. I can get it to work within my network. So is there something you have to do differnt to get this to work?

yeh, you have to configure your router to forward port 80 to you router's IP address, then it should just work, if it doesn't there is a lione in the config file which specifies who can access the server, by default it is set to 80, which means eveyone using port 80, but it could have accidently been changed to something like 192.168.x.x (being your internal IP) which would stop external access, if it is that just change it back to 80 and it shoudl work

how are you connecting to the machine through the internet? are you using ip address? if so how are you obtaining it?

I use ipconfig /all on the computer that connects directly to the internet then get the ip address from that then i open a browser and type http://xxx.xxx.xx.xxx. And then I get nothing, but it will work inside my network. I just cant connect to it through the internet.
