Author Cant find my home directory

Hi,

Well another newbie here. And I thought this time I would not have to
ask for help. oh well.

Setting up apache on a 9x machine

Everything went well except I cannot get the httpd file configured to
find my home directory.

It finds the start page OK with both 127.0.0.1 and my IP according to
winipcfg.

I have a dynamic address from dyndns.org but that gets me to a password
protected page and it's not mine.

Are there other configuration files I need to be looking at?

Thanks

So your Apache configuration seems to be Ok.

Apparently it's not your server (wrong IP address), or you get
the webbased administration interface of your router (if you
have one).

What address does winipcfg show?
10.x.y.z or 192.168.x.y, or something else?

Are you sure the IP address DynDNS shows is the same as the
address you get from winipcfg? Did you run the DynDNS Updater
tool every time you connect to the internet ?

If you have a router, did you disable the webadmin feature on
the WAN interface?

By the way, don't forget to setup NAT in your router to direct
requests on port 80 to the PC your server is on.
