First-time poster so please be gentle as this is a weird one!
Running XAMPP on a mac mini at home as a webserver. Nothing serious, just more for photos etc
I have just installed the latest version of XAMPP )(8.2.0?) and got it up and running with no dramas. The setup seemed to be a breeze which was a pleasant surprise as I have come from the MAMP world but was happy to uninstall it!
Apache is running, MySQL is running and ProFTPD is running (though I still have to play around with this one as it's my first time trying an FTP server).
When I use my URL (www.tristanforsyth.com) via my laptop on my home WIFI, I get a timeout error (that somehow defaults to /lists an IP that isn't my IP in the error message!)
Switch to my phone and use 4/5G, I can see the XAMPP dashboard screen in Safari only (still get a time out using Chrome).
NB:Ive left the dashboard as my landing page for the moment but have successfully limited access to phpadmin etc to local server access only
I have had some issues with my domain registrar with regard to my settings, but all seems to be now working from their end. They went as far as to confirm by a screenshot that they can see my website via www.tristanforsyth.com.
NB: everything was running fine via MAMP a week ago before my registrar upgraded their nameservers
So, it seems local network access isn't working via a browser which is problematic as Im running a Wordpress site from my home server!
Im stubborn so I want to work this one out though I will admit, I thinking of going to paid hosting to eliminate the headaches (but take the fun out of things!!)
Does anyone have have any ideas as to what Ive done wrong?
Thanks in advance
