apache

hey, i am running apache and when i do localhost or my own IP on my computer or a computer connected to the same network as me it works fine, but apparently people can't connect to my server when i give them my IP and a webpage that works for me.

i disabled my firewall thinking it might've been that but still nothing. any ideas?

Track down /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and find a couple of lines:

#Listen 12.34.56.78:80

Uncomment this line and change the IP address to be the IP address of your server.

If your server has a name then find this line:

#ServerName new.host.name:80

Uncomment it, and change it to the name of your server.

Now let folk try to contact you.
