 |
|
Please help me i am frustrated right now.
i have a router with two laptops connected wirelessly and a desktop connected with wire.
i downloaded xampp and i set it up and every thing.
but when i visit my site throught the ip i get the error "the server at <my ip> is taking too long to respond"
but if i go to http://localhost it works.
i checked the port checker and it says port 80 is used by apache httpd.exe
and please help me i have been trying to fix this for weeks now and no luck.
  by the way i am hosting with the connected wired desktop and it is windows xp. |

| if you are using a router to the internet you have to use port forwarding. Else the router blocks incoming requests |

You have that error on your local IP as well or only from the external IP?
Do did you configure the portforwarding? Does the portforwarding point to the internal IP from the pc where apache is running? Errors about that 500 in your error log from apache? |

in xampp the error log in in
C:/xampp/logs/ or C:/xampp/apache/logs/
from apache.org you can find the error log in
C:/Program Files/Apache Group/apache/logs
or
C:/Program Files/Apache Group/apache2.2/logs |

| Since there is nothing about a 500 error in your error log I think you have an issue with your router. |

| Put your server on a static LAN IP outside the DHCP range if you have not already ... this will keep other computers from being asigned the IP you will then forward. I say this cause our your comment about all computers having same IP. That is not really correct except for 127.0.0.1, but on the LAN IP side, if your server is set to "Obtain IP Automatically" you're getting it from DHCP, IPs a doled out as computers are turned on without regard to exactly which computer. Static the server. |

its my external ip that is the same, so changing the normal ip wont do anything.
and by the way the 500 error is gone now it gives page not found error. |
