I have been looking for a few days to research this and havent found anything that has fixed my issue.
I am trying to set up these Virtual hosts externally. I use dyndns for my IP's dns and when I used xampp (last time was 3 or 4 years ago), I used to be able to setup these virtual hosts externally.
For example
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/SERVER/WWW/xampplite/htdocs/admin/"
ServerName admin.mydnsname.homeip.net
</VirtualHost>
So, in my research, I found all of the stuff about editing the file >C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts< and of course I played around and made sure that matched up properly. However, the problem I have is that the admin.mydnsname.homeip.net does not work on any computer but the host (where the 127.0.0.1 would point).
I have taken the # away from "NameVirtualHost *:80", tried restarting apache after every change I make. I have even tried adding in permissions just incase it may have something to do with it.
<Directory "C:/SERVER/WWW/xampplite/">
Options +Indexes +Includes +ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
Any ideas why this doesnt work to connect to externally anymore, like it used to with Windows XP/Server 2003?
