Apache Friends Support Forum

I mean the actual static ip address issued by my isp.

This static IP is assigned to a:
- NAT router
- a HTTP proxy (are you talking about HTTP requests?)
- a local network interface
?

So you have to verify your firewall and router setting.
-->
- with only changing the Listen directive in httpd.conf to 8080,
- and if mydomain.com is pointing to the IP of your server
- a request for "http://mydomain.com:8080/" must go to the Apache server

it "didn't" work for any one including my self viewing my own ip .

OK.

Assuming a default XAMPP installation, Apache is listening to all incoming connections.
--> So you have to verify your firewall or router settings.

BTW:
It's (can be) normal that you self can't use your external ip. So someone else have to test this.

I Know that i can just open port 80 on the firewall and give them the external IP address of the network, however, we already have a website running on port 80

So that's a NAT-router (with port-forwarding) and not (only) a firewall?

Dann richte halt kein port-mapping in deinem Router ein, bzw. aktiviere eine Firewall.

you said that i am cannot connect with my ip

but how my friends came to my site

Your friends are connecting to the WAN IP (public_ip) port 80 of your router from the WAN (internet). In this case your NAT router can port-forwarding the packages on port 80 to the internal LAN IP port 80 from your XAMPP PC.

If you are trying to connect to the WAN IP (public_ip) port 80 of your router from the internal LAN, your NAT router can't do a port-forwarding of this port 80 back to somewhere in the internal LAN.

Conclusion:
Your friends must use the WAN IP (public_ip) of the router to access your homepage.
You must use the LAN IP of the XAMPP PC (or 127.0.0.1) to access your homepage.

BTW:
At the moment there is no server accessible at your IP. Maybe a problem with your port-forwarding or your firewall.

what is the problem

Normally you can't use your public ip (I guess you mean the WAN IP from your NAT router) from inside your LAN.

Ask someone other to access your WAN IP (from the internet).

Habe gestern Abend in meiner Router

Du musst ja auch nicht die IP deines Routers nehmen, sondern die deines PC's (im Zweifel die 127.0.0.1 / localhost, welche immer existiert)

Tried simply switching the "localhost" with the No-IP host I have, and got nada. I get the "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading" message in Firefox. Am I doing something wrong?

Verify your router and/or firewall settings.

Aus der Windows Hosts Datei habe ich die Ipadresse und Localhost in die Httpd.Datei hineinkopiert.

Was immer du da gemacht hast, mach es wieder rückgängig.

eine dyndns adresse ist vorhanden, auch die ip adresse zu meinem Pc-Server besteht in meiner Fritzbox.

Enteder,
- eine Firewall auf deinem PC blockiert die Anfragen
- oder das port-forwarding (firewall) in deinem Router ist falsch konfiguriert.

Auf Seiten vom XAMPP/Apache muss man jedenfalls nichts anpassen damit das tut.

Is "http://192.168.1.1/" working?

for my router does it work.

What does you mean with "for my router does it work.", is "192.168.1.1" the ip from your router? (sorry, I have assumed it's the ip from your pc)

my pc is in DMZ

Hm, if your pc is in the DMZ (all ports forwarded to your pc), you should verify your firewall settings (or your router configuration). No port is open at your ip. And also it's not responding to a simple ping.

but iam behind a router but its open...so its my real ip from my internet provider...

So you are trying to connect to your local Apache with the WAN ip from your router.
I assume you have configured a port-mapping on this router?

my real ip

- the LAN ip from your PC?
- the WAN ip from your PC (if directly connected to the internet)
- the WAN ip from your (NAT-) router?

but when i try with a no-ip domain then it redirects to my router

Just don't use your (WAN) no-ip domain (from the local LAN).

(or add this no-ip domain to your HOSTS file.)

Any reason why?

I guess it's your router webinterface.
