Topic: Apache(2.2) Hostname Problem

[DexterDave]

Hi

Need some serious help please.

My server doesn't recognize my domain name which is http://trapsuutjie.dyndns-home.com
My website however does run when I type 127.0.0.1 in my browser, Now I have configured the httpd.conf
file in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\conf directory to accomodate my hostname like so:
# If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.
#
ServerName trapsuutjie.dyndns-home.com:80

Below is also the error log for the last server restart I did.

Can anyone Please tell me how I can het my host name (trapsuutjie.dyndns-home.com) to work.

(note my router is configured for that dyndns service and my ip is synced with my hostname, and
my account at dyndns.org is still active and working)

Thank You

If you have another computer on the LAN, try getting to it via the lan ip of the server ... for example
http://192.168.1.5

If you can not get to it that way, check the Windows Firewall (or any/all firewall/s) on the machine running Apache (server).

If you can get to it via another computer on the lan, but not the internet, did you forward the port 80 through your router?

If so, have you tried using a port other than 80? Many ISPs block port 80.
