    i have a question about Apache software foundation's HTTP web server. according to them 68% of the internet uses it, so i figured someone here would be able to tell me how to access the site from another computer. i went through loads of readme's and website FAQs, but i cant find out how to access it. can someone please help me?!?
    thanks! :thumb:

    what exactly are you trying to do? get at your computer (running apache) from the internet, or just inside your lan?

    you pretty much just have to enable port forwarding on your router for tcp port 80 to you internal ip of whatever your server is

    and if apache is set up correctly, you should just be able to point a browser at your external ip, and get data

    well when i type in http://192.168.1.101/ it shows a list of the files that the site is made of, but doesnt show them as what they are, it shows them in a list. how can i get it to show the site like a normal web page?

    make sure you have an index.html and that apache is set to default to load index.html (or .php whatever you want) also a lot of ISPs block port 80 so if you want to access it via the internet you will need to use a different port, i use port 3000 :)
