Hello apache staff.

i got a little problem here.. when i put something on in my htdocs folder, and use localhost on the webbrowser it works, but when i try with a no-ip domain then it redirects to my router =s . it directly goes to my router settings, somebody pls help me out.

>Hello apache staff.

Sorry, you are wrong here. "Apache staff" is located at www.apache.org

>it directly goes to my router settings, somebody pls help me out.

Therefore you are double wrong here. You should go for your "router staff" and ask there, how to forward requests from port 80 to certain PCs in your LAN.

All this has *nothing* to do with Apache.

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.)

Hey man,
I may have some info that will help you.
First off, you need to use your EXTERNAL IP, not your INTERNAL one. You can find it by going to http://whatismyip.com.

Next, I've written a few tutorials in the past that may help you further:

How To Setup A Public Domain - I do mention No IP service in here and it should help.

Port Forwarding - This is how you allow traffic through your router to the correct PC.

I hope that helps.
