Viewing Website...

Okay, I have my home web server hosting my site and I can use a proxy to view it BUT, I cannot view it using localhost or 127.0.0.0.1... Is there another way or a fix for this?


Thanks
 
So are you trying to access it from within the LAN using 127.0.0.1? Does it work by typing in the servers IP, such as 192.168.1.1?
 
so, if you are on the web server itself and type in 127.0.0.1 in a web browser you get nothing and the same thing with localhost?
 
well, if you are on any machine other than your web server it will try to connect to itself. 127.0.0.1 and localhost represent that machine. If you ping 127.0.0.1 you are pinging yourself.

Try putting in the IP of the webserver in the browser address bar, what do you get?

I tried and "Unable to Connect"... Yeah I know about pinging 127.0.0.1, I am not that bad:cool:.

What web server are you running? Is it running currently? Is this on your same network as your other computers? What OS is it?

from windows you can try this in cmd

tracert ip.of.web.server

what results do you get? Also, have you given it a domain name?

Apache... Running Currently... Same Network... Windows XP Home Ed.

Other ppl can access it, of course outside of the LAN.. And, I can see it through a proxy.. But I just want it to load quickly like it does for everyone else and be able to view it as they do..

And yes, it has a DynDNS domain with the DynDNS updater...

Thanks
