Apache Friends Support Forum

Hello, im new in this forum, i have a problem with my website under xampp.

I´m using windows server 2008.

When i start apache i can see my website in the localhost but when i try to see it from outside i can´t.
If i change the apache listen port from 80 to 8080 i can see the website with http://example.com:8080 but i dont want that, i want to enter my website with http://example.com the port 80 is free and httpd.exe is listening to it.

Any clue?
Thanks and sorry for the english im spanish:D

What happens when you try to view it from outside?

Thanks for the quick reply jonB
When i try to see the website from outside says "the conecction was interrupted" ( in google crhome) and in internet explorer says "internet explorer cant show the page"

Thanks again for the reply:D

Are you using a vhost by any chance?

Could also be a router/firewall issue.

Just what come to mind right now.

Do you mean like no-ip adress by vhost?

Router ports open 8080 and the firewalls are off right now.

When i click on control panel of xampp start apache, sometimes start with "apache service started" and sometimes start with "apache started (80)"
When says "apache service started" i can see my website with localhost.
When says "apache started (80)" apache did not start.

If i type in cmd "netstat -ano" i can see 0.0.0.0:80 Listening and if i follow the PID with tasklist says "httpd.exe" also appears [::]:80 with the same PID.

If you need more info please let me know. Thanks for your work and support.

Okey, hello again:)

The problem with the 80 port was that httpd.sys (system) was using it and now apache is running in 80 port normaly.

Now is running but i can not see my website from outside, maybe is windows 2008 server blocking something?

Can someone help me?

Thanks
