I want to make XAMPP public so people can visit my site when they type my public IP into their browser. I've read about this issue and have tried multiple fixes, but I still can't access my personal server from the internet. Here is some general info regarding my setup:
OS: Windows 7
Windows Firewall: Disabled
XAMPP VERSION: 1.7.4
Linksys Router: Port 80 has been forwarded
When I type 192.168.1.1 OR localhost OR 127.0.0.1 OR [My Public IP] into my browser, I get the XAMPP server page as expected. However, when I try to visit the Public IP from outside my network, I get a Server Not Found page.
I suspect I need to edit a conf file, but haven't been able to find the correct settings.
So, what should I do next to make this server accessible by the public? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
