Apache Friends Support Forum

I'm setup the whole package and it works perfectly fine. I've loaded some "php" pages in the htdocs file and when I do a "localhost" on my computer I can see the php files very well. But when I try accessing the webpages from outside (on our LAN) using http://<ip of computer> I'm getting a timed out.

What could be the problem? Do I need to switch Apache on to work for outsiders (am a newbie!!)? It seems to work well atleast on local computer on which I've installed.

Thanking in advance,
Rosh

Maybe you have some kind of firewall that blocks them?

Yes

and you must build a portforward with TCP port 80 in your router to forward the http-requests (port 80) to the LAN-Ip of the xampp-pc.

please call a friend for testing http://internet-ip <<--- ip of your Inetconnect to look if your webserver iss running.
