Apache2Triad Help, Support and Development

[alacritous]

Hello,

I'm having a bit of a problem here. I cannot access my computer that's running apache2triad 1.5.4 on Windows XP from my other computers . I know that you use the local IP (e.x. 192.168.1.100) to access it from other computers in the network, but that is not working. I am sure it's not a firewall issue. Maybe it's something I don't understand about apache2triad (as I have set up apache, php, mysql separately a while ago).

I have localhost for the apache configurations and domain. Is this correct? Or does apache2triad require your actual address (e.x. 192.168.1.100) for the values.

Basically whenever I try to access the address, it just does nothing for a while. Just "connecting to" and "loading" forever, then finally times out.

Thank you in advance,
alacritous

FAQ #5 will help you with your problem

No, actually it won't.

I specifically said I used my local IP (NOT localhost) in an attempt to access the web page from another computer. I had read all the FAQs, documentation, and even searched the forums for a while.

Anyway, I found out the problem. While looking through the config file, I saw it had "listen localhost:80" as default for whatever reason.

I was in a hurry, it is a common problem that people don't change their hostname to something different than localhost, and then try to access it from another pc. I didn't read the FAQ question, just did a quick search for the answer.

However, the question wasn't quite what you were having problems with. I changed it to be inclusive of your problem.
