Apache Friends Support Forum

I can't get xampp to work with dyndns, I have tried turning off my firewall but that didn't do anything. Does anyone know what is wrong? I am trying to set it up so I will be able to use it as my own site because I couldn't find any good free web hosting sites. Could anyone help me?
Here are some pictures of everything I have done:

kylekjune.dyndns.org = 99.33.207.23 = it works fine.

99.33.207.23 = adsl-99-33-207-23.dsl.sgnwmi.sbcglobal.net = it works fine.

So from the Internet I see no problems, just missing your web site.

All you need now is to delete the index.html that is in the htdocs folder and replace it with the index file of your own web site - Apache and XAMPP seem to be doing their job.

Also clear your browser's cache from time to time.

Always use your kylekjune.dyndns.org address in your browser to access your XAMPP web site as you may not be able to use your WAN IP because of network restrictions even though we can from the Internet.

Use this address to check if your web site is working from the Internet:
http://centralops.net/co/DomainDossier.aspx
Just add your dyndns address or your WAN IP in the text box and tick all the boxes.

Best wishes.

when i try to view it it don't work atm I have an index.html file that just says "it works!" but when I try to go to the domain or have a friend do it nothing shows up.

As I pointed out in my reply, it works just fine from where I am on the Internet and it works fine from the DomainDossier link I provided.

So?

oooo, it just doesn't work from my home computer I guess. My friend must have just been messing with me.

Many routers do not support NAT loopback. (i.e. you can't get to the external/WAN IP of the router from the LAN side).

Good Luck

^correct if you want to be able to see it from your local computer use your internal ip(which is the 192.x.x.x) or http://localhost
