basic apache setup
|
|
|
| Ok, I have gotten bits and pieces of info reading some posts and have
learned a lot but still
need some help.
I have installed apache 2 and have configured it to:
Listen 8004 since my ISP blocks 80 and 8080
my documentroot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/apache2/htdocs" and
directory
"C:/Program Files/Apache Group/apache2/htdocs"
my server name I have set to my ip address and port even though I have
a domain name since i eventually hope to use my virtual host config
once I get this going
my router and firewall are allowing the port and i can access local
host
why cant it be accessed by www.example.com ?
I use DynDNS.org for my redirection and with the upgraded service I can
specify a port. I have Windows XP home edition if that matters. If
anyone can help or direct me to an example config file that I can model
mine after I would appreciate it very much. or direct me to an Apache
config tutorial would be great. Thanks for any help.

Maybe you have to set your router to NAT-loopback.
On a ZyXEL that would be the command:
ip nat loopback on
Your mileage may vary, of course.
Hope this helps.

| I will try that but I don't think that is the problem. I will let you
know. Thanks for the reply. I had it working until I tried to set up
the virtual host so I "undid" all that and now it won't work at all.

This sounds more like a problem with your redirection service. Make sure
your www.example.com redirects to your ip and port 8004. What do you get
when you try to go to www.example.com?
BTW, Zoneedit is a very good free DNS hosting service that offers dynamic
ip updating and services to allow serving with blocked ports:
http://zoneedit.com/doc/faq.html#faq20 <-- dynamic ips
http://zoneedit.com/doc/faq.html#faq23 <-- blocked ports
I love my ISPs loose TOS - plus 4 static IPs! :-D

| I get page cannot be displayed then sometimes it says server is not
reachable. I have an Abyss web server running fine on another port
using DynDNS as my redirection service but will probably switch back to
zoneedit eventually. However, I want to switch over to Apache so I can
use virtual host which Abyss does not support. Thanks for the input.
