solved - networked connection timeout
Posted: 19. January 2012 12:08
I'm having problems connecting xampp from another computer on the network, i havent used xampp for a few months now and just installed 1.7.7 and got it up and running, but i cant connect via the machine i plan to be working from.
Im certain its a xampp security setting, but i dont appear to be able to work around it in httpd-xampp.conf which i believe is the right place to start.
I should point out, its a connection time out, not an xampp message. Also, im currently able to connect to other browser-apps on different ports, so it shouldnt be an issue with connecting to the machine either.
Port 80/443 is clear, i've made changes and restarted apache and its come back fine, but while im able to access xampp locally, i cant on the workstation.
My understanding of the whole apache/mysql etc installation & setup is extremely limited, and i've never needed to tweak much in the past (vhosts, thats it, and thats working locally), but from what i can tell it isnt even hitting the xampp security check within httpd-xampp.conf, as i would expect to see an xampp forbidden page, from what i can work out. Im installed on WHS2011, i've used teamviewer via port 80, and disabled that option (httpd.exe is using 80), so i cant imagine the OS is blocking its use because until a few hours ago i was using it frequently. So im now at a loss as to how to proceed with things.
I've tried connecting via machine name, ip, and both + :80, it just times out. Other apps work, yet i cant see xampp.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this issue?
