I have a very basic question (extremely basic).
I understand that I can use Apache as a web server. That is, I can install Apache on my laptop, develop some html pages and that OTHER people can get access to those webpages that I create (providing I have my laptop on, my Apache server started up, I have index.html in appropriate folder (I tested Http://localhost/index.html and it works) and connection to the internet through my internet provider ).
Please let me know what do OTHER users need to type into their URL browser window in order to view my web pages (let's say index.html)
I know this is very basic, but I have to start somehow.
Please do not post inpolite or abbrasive comments. If this is too basic for you then move on to other posts. If you know the answer, let me know. If you need clarification, ask. Thnks.
This is what I have:
1. Internet provider (Rogers cable internet (in Canada), alike Verizon Hi speed internet in the US)
under httpd.txt file following are configuration settings:
1. ServerRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2" (this is where I put my test web pages)
2. Listen: 80
3. ServerAdmin: myname@myname.com (I LITERALLY put my name in "myname" field)
4. ServerName: www.myname.com:80 (I LITERALLY put my name in "myname" field)
Admin note:
Please change your subject to something meaningful and specific |

others have to type your current IP in the Browser. Here you can see you current IP. If you don't have a static IP, you can use a service like dyndns.org or no-ip.com |
