|

Hi everyone. I am a relative newb to be running http server on my comp... I have been trying to make it work for about a week now, and i have tried it before (the diffirence is i want to succeed this time). So... I have downloaded apache2triad package, installed it and it works on my LAN. (localhost:4667) I am using Dlink 604 router. First thing i thought the reason for not working could be ISP blocking port 80, ok, I changed port to 4667 in the conf file and opened (i guess) it on my router. When i scan it with grc.com, it sais it's open. On WAN i am receiving 404 after couple of seconds. Maybe it is incorrectly setuped httpd.conf? I searched tons of forums, and although i saw ppl with similar problems, i couldn't find the solution. If you have the apache running on WAN on your comp, i would appreaciate if you send me yours httpd.conf to xtrukx@hotmail.com (so i can change the directories and port to mine), or... suggest something plz! Thanks! :roll:
P.S Sorry if my english is not as good... I'm a noob here as well! :D |

well in the longrun all you have to do is make sure the server is binding on the WAN interface and that the interface is working and not blocked by some router or other layer 3 network device
and of course make sure you are testing by accesing http://waninterfacehostnameorip/ not http://localhost/ |

| Ok, looks like i am really close to problem solving. Please tell me what do you put into ServerName line. And yeah, i have updated my router software and opened all ports again, so i suppose it is going to be working very soon. I just don't have a chance to check it out outside my LAN right now. Thanks for help! |

| Ok! Everything is working now, it works at my friends, and it even works when i type my wan ip on lan. What i did is killed my router firewall by setting "WAN" to "LAN" allow all, ports "*" (for all ports) and then just configured my norton firewall so i'll stay under some protection (holy... i just noticed, i've been under 2 firewalls.. one hardware and another software). Thankyou for reply anyway! |

| Hello, I am having troubles on a D-Link as well. Could you please help me on how to get port forward to get this to work? I am lost in the router interface. |

If you're having problems setting up apache, and finding your router interface:
Have apache listen to port 0.0.0.0:80 (or *:80 or just 80 it's all the same), Open your router setup area typically located at the first given IP address for example 192.168.0.1 You can try and access it by \\192.168.0.1 or //192.168.0.1 Check to see if you have an area to configure WAN, and have it allow port 80 traffic to your host computer. Also make sure any software firewalls on your pc has the same port open.
*Note
Your network ip may be different than 192.168.0.1 just find your local networks address and go from there. Typically the first part of a LAN or WAN will start with 192,10, or 172 to see what your pc is listening on you can open a dos window start->run->cmd.exe and type netstat -an look through the Local Address section for something starting with these.
If it's a specific problem in the D-Link interface could you post a screen shot? |
