Getting started with Apache

shazam75 · 09-02-2005, 09:39 PM

Hi

I have installed Apache2.0 on my Mandrake 10.1 Offical box. Just one question-

How do I use an external (not private) IP address so that others can view my site?

I know 127.0.0.1 is local host right - but will people be able to see me with this ip address - and if no, then what do i need to do.

Thanks
Shelton.

Well when I type in my IP Address it brings up my adsl modem setup page!

Try to set up your DSL modem to forward incoming port 80 (http), etc. to your computer on the local network.

Thats what I have - Port Forwarding on Port 80.
