[SOLVED] How to access my site from outside

konzo · 02-02-2010, 01:45 PM

Hi,

I have start apache, and can see my site on 127.0.0.1, but I have router and don't know how to check my site from outside (Internet bellow). I have no domain name registered. Just want to check web server.

That should be easy. (or not?)

The router has static IP xxx.xxx.xxx.239 from the my internet provider and assign 192.168.1.100 to my computer.

You probably have to go into your router's setting and tell it to forward traffic on port 80 to your server.

Also make sure your provider doesn't block port 80 incoming

And what address should I put in the address bar?

Since you don't have a domain name registered, you would have to use the IP address.

Your static ip address that your internet provider has given you. I do not know if forwarding all the port 80 requests will affect your intetnet browsing or not. But it can be done and if it affects you can revert back.
