Local -> public

[Jusstice]

I was wondering how to make my website (Localhost....) made public so people can make accounts. =p

Just a newbie question, but I could not find any Tutorials on the subject, they just stop after it's running on Local.


thanks;

Port 80 has to be open and the other have to know your public ip (check it on whatismyip.com)

I forwarded port 80 on the 192.168... etc on my router page.
Set ports 80 with both TCP and UDP. Still doesn't work. I got Xammp running apache on port 80 too.

You need to open the ports in your firewall too.

here you are:

Go to control panel > firewall

Then exception

Then add port

First UDP > ok , Then add port again and choose TCP

Rep me if i helped you

Your ISP might block your port 80. You can either call them and ask them to unblock it, or go into your xampp folder and go to apache then conf.
In the conf folder open your httpd.conf

Search for this line:
Listen 80

and change that to a differnt number (it will be the port your web server will run on)

After this search for
ServerName localhost:80
and change this to the same number.

Save it, and restart apache.

After that, you must port forward the number you used.

Then you should be able to access your website by using http://yourglobalip:#port

Rep++ if I helped.

did not work ;/

 

[Bintzer]

Then there must be something wrong with your apache server..
Try redownloading xampp.

 

[Jusstice]

I tried too and it didn't work.

 

[Deavz]

Yay, i have D-Link too, You need to open the ports in application too!

 

[Jusstice]

What do you mean application?

 

[Deavz]

Only for dlink routers.

 

[Jusstice]

[Deavz]
