Should I change following below for my ip to be reached? The port forwarding
instructions on apaches website says to forward port 443(in router) to my ip
and all should be fine. Someone mentioned to edit this httpd statement
below. If that is true then would I have it listen on port 443 as apache
says or have it listen on my ip?
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses (0.0.0.0)
#
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80

Not sure what the default xampp setup is, but look for the Listen
directive to verify which ports apache is actually listening on, and
make sure those are forwarded.
Also, I'm not sure how much you know about networks (so pardon me if
you consider this suggestion offensive): are you connecting to your
router's public IP address, or your system's local address? If you got
the ip address from something like ipconfig, then it's the local
address. If it's something like 192.168.x.x, it's a local address. To
get the public address, you can go to a site like
whatismyipaddress.com.
Best of luck

Ok done all the research I can, time for some collaboration.
New Server apache 2.5
apache running default configuration xampp/htdocs/index.html
http://localhost and http://ipaddress works great.
outside machines cannot connect to http://ipaddress
main gateway and routers have been forwarded from port 80 and port 443
as
apache suggests, to the machines ip address. no machines outside the
network
can connect. Firewalls are temporarily off.
is there anything in the httpd file or apache that needs to be changed
in
order to display a webpage via the web?
