I can't access my site anywhere else

| DarkHyperSonic 2004-02-08, 11:46 am |
| Ok I installed Apache 2.0.48 along with php 4.3.4 and I have the basic
configurations for it. I'm running it off of Windows XP Home. I can
access the site on my computer using the address but when my friends
try to access it, it says "Page Cannot Be Displayed," so I go to the
FAQs for Apache and do the change port/listen from 80 to 8000 but it
still didn't work. Then I found this one doc on the Apache website and
it said Apache by default is a "local service" if you must access the
network change it to "network service." I did that but it still
doesn't work on another computer. One more thing I'm using Zone Alarm
Pro 4 w/ Web filtering firewall but I gave it access to port 80 and
8000 but still nothing.

Ok I found out something ISP(Cox)is blocking Port 80 which I need for
the world to access my website. Anyone know a program I can use to
redirect the blocked port to an open port

If your provider blocks port 80, it will remain blocked regardless of any
programs you may run. What you may be able to do is run your server on an
alternate HTTP port, such as 591, 8008 or 8080 instead, and hope that these
ports are not blocked.
You could also buy such an Internet connection that would allow you to run a
web server.

I did change the port to like 8000 and 1080 but still nothing. I
wonder if it has something to do with my DNS because I just set up a
suffix through Windows. If this is the case would I have to get a real
DNS online.

Unless you're running name-based virtual hosts, your site should still work
using a domain literal (IP address). The domain name, however, will
obviously work only if the client can resolve it.
You may have noticed that you haven't received a lot of responses here. This
is probably due to two circumstances: first, your question has been asked
very frequently here, and second, it's difficult to help when essential
information, such as the relevant IP address and domain name, are hidden.

If you want to access my site by ip address here it is
http://68.1.50.35:1080.
I don't think it's Apache settings I think it might be Windows
settings that's causing this not to work. Also what would the domain
name be? I want to make sure what it is before I post it.

It works for me, except for the images. Most people on the Internet will
have no way of connecting to your SMB server, so you need to serve also the
images using HTTP.

I believe the URI would be <URL:http://ip68-1-50-35.pn.at.cox.net:1080/>.

Whats SMB?
Anyway I moved the images to a folder in the server document root.
Thanks for letting me know it works. Could you check it again because
I was tinkering with Virtual host for this other site im hosting.
Heres both links:
http://68.1.50.35:1080
http://68.1.50.35:1081

SMB is Windows file sharing. It may make the file scheme work on your LAN,
but on the general Internet, you need to use HTTP (as you seem to have
noticed).

Both pages work for me per se, but I'd avoid spaces in file names.
Whitespace is considered unsafe in URIs.
