My Apache server is up and running (localhost takes me to the site). However, I can't access it from any machine outside my network (can't make it public)
The test that I'm running is the following.
- On browser type: http://myIP ie. http://123.123.123.123
This ends up timing out.
I did a netstat and confirmed that apache is listening on port 80
I disabled the Firewall from Norton and the Windows Firewall to run my tests.
How can I troubleshoot it now? I'm don't know what to do at this point. Your help is appreciated. |

Turn on Windows firewall.
Add program exception for httpd.exe and give it a try. |

| Another possibility: Does your server have public or private address (is it behind NAT)? Second case would require port forwarded from NAT router to server and use of NAT's public address. |

Hi, I have exactly the same problem, which I described yesterday in this part of the forum.
I made exceptions in the firewall but it's not the problem. I get access from my computers to the local IP, but not from outside.
How do I know if I'm behind NAT or what does it mean ? I have 3 computers at home that are connected to internet via an ADSL / router (2 via wifi, the one with Apache via ethernet).
When I go to http://ip.filezilla-project.org/ip.php I get 127.0.0.1, does it mean I'm behind NAT? (I'm also using Filezilla, which has exactly the same problem, whether or not only one is running).
Is the NAT router the ADSL modem / router that is in front of me ? Or something on the ISP's side?
My router's local IP is 192.168.1.1, Apache is installed on 192.168.1.2.
I already told the router to forward port 21 to 192.168.1.2.
How do I "use NAT's public address"?
thanks in advance! |

Hi,
in my case it's solved: I can't see my own site if I use a computer connected to my router and the global IP, but people from outside can see it (and I can see it from inside using the local IP, isn't that the same as you?). Did you actually try from an outside comp or did you try your global IP from home?
You might want to reactivate your firewall and just allow port 80... |
