Apache Friends Support Forum

Greetings. If this topic has already been solved elsewhere, i apologize, but it seems i wasn't able to found it.

Configuration: Xampp running on Win 7, directory C:\Webserver. Using DDNS (xxx.redirectme.net:8080) with router forwarding from 8080 to 80 on machine running Xampp.
Have modified httpd-xampp.conf, by commenting Deny from all so i enable internet access to local machine.

In htdocs i have, besides xampp's directory two Wordpress instalations (htdocs/xampp, htdocs/wordpress1, htdocs/wordpress2).

Issue:I CAN access xampp's page and phpmyadmin AND only html pages inside the two Wordpress installations (xxx.redirectme.net:8080/wordpress1/readme.html for example) but i get connection time outs when trying to access anything else in the Wordpress directories.

Can it be a PHP port listening issue?

Thank you for your ideas. Cheers!

8080 is tomcat port.

Why not use 80 port?

Before use DDNS access your webpage, do you have already test http://localhost/(your wordpress installation)?

Before wordpress installation, you must create wordpress database in mysql by yourself.Do you create it?

Localhost and local network access work just fine, everything is displayed as it should. Wordpress installations are flawless.

I am using 8080 because for some reason if i use 80 it interferes with all the other computers' web access through the same router.

Do You have tested the router's port forwarding features? For example your xampp still use 80 port, router was config 8080 -> 80 .

For some reason , my isp blocked 80 port, so I config my router use 85 port as public port, but xampp using 80 port.

I think there is an issue with XAMPP's latest security settings. When i set forwarding from port 80 router to port 80 webserver everything is ok. Any other combinations don't work (for example 8080 to 80 or 85 to 85). Even changing apache's listening port doesn't work.
