I am guessing that this is the simplest problem there is but it has me stumped. I installed Apache and PHP and ran the localhost tests and all is well. I have a static IP and I am behind a US Robotics router in which I forwarded port 80 to this PC. I sent my IP (68.82.124.204) to my sister and asked her to test the server. She put http://68.82.124.204 in her browser and got the "page not found" message. So she tried http://68.82.124.204:80 and got the same results. From what I understand I cannot access my own server via my own IP so that leaves 2 questions. 1. What does someone have to enter in a browser to access my server? 2. How can I test the connection short of using someone else's internet connection?
I googled the hell out of this problem and came up empty. Forgive me if this has already been asked a bazillion times. Tall Paul in Pa Occam's Razor: one should not increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything
