I'm making a webpage. It looks great! But nobody else can see my web page!
I'm not behind a router

Try it yourself at http://68.233.161.84 (for now)

Thanks!

You really ought to give us more information than that. What version of Apache are you using? What does your apache conf file look like?

In any case, perhaps your Listen directive is misconfigured?

Also, it's quite possible that your ISP blocks port 80 (like charter for ex.)
So, you may have to run it on a different port.

Thanks for the concern guys, the problem is that my ISP (Adelphia) blocks port 80 from being a server port

I sent you PM :)

Just in case anybody else is interested:

in your apache configuration file add

Listen 8008 (or any other high port number)
Quote:

### IP Address/Port
###
#BindAddress *
Listen 80
Listen 8008
(that's what I have on my system)
and restart apache.

Other people should be able to connect to your server using url like

h t t p : / / w w w.yourdomain.com:8008

Or you can setup redirection (I used no-ip.com for this) so that they wouldn't have to type 8008


Hope that helps

i dont think u stated what version of apache but for apache-1.**

you would edit the apache.conf

i believe u would need to edit this

Code:
###
### IP Address/Port
###
#BindAddress *
Port 80
Listen 80


and if you running multiple sites u will need to edit the Vhosts.conf

Code:
###
### IP Address/Port
