I have no idea what problems with XAMPP you are having as you don't say.

Post back with any errors you have trying to connect to any of the XAMPP servers either from the Internet or from within your network. Someone will try and help you but without knowing what specific problems you are having, this would not be possible.

Apache listens, by default, for http on port 80 and for https on 443
MySql listen, by default, on port 3306
FileZillaServer, by default, listens on port 21
MercuryMail, by default, listens on ports 25 SMTP - 110 POP - 143 IMAP

This may help with router configurations:

nevermind, my ISP blocks port 80, and i believe that somewhere i read that you cant change it in xampp so i found a different server, not as good at Xampp but i guess it works

Of course you can change the port that XAMPP listens on.

Just check the xampp/apache/conf/httpd.conf file:

Code: Select all

#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses (0.0.0.0)
#
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80

glomming = http://www.thefreedictionary.com/glom

All you had to do was be more specific with your questions. Like my ISP blocks port 80, how do I solve that problem? etc.etc.

XAMPP is a fully configurable Modular server environment.
