Hello, I'm using easyphp which is php, apache and mySQL combined. I can get them separately but i don't like spending time on configuring all of them. The problem I am having is I can access my server locally but when trying to access it externally by typing the ip address of the computer, colon port number it just says page not found. Things I tried: - change port number - just install apache on it's own and was able to access the server externally (means that firewall isn't blocking it and port number is okay to use) - Attempted googling with no luck My Believe what the problem is: I believe that it has to do with some configuration but i have no idea how to configure it properly. Any ideas? |

Obvious thing - do you have your router configured to forward external requests on your port to your computer? What local URL are you using and what URL are you using when trying to access it externally? |

Sorry if i wasn't clear in my post. To access local server i type: localhost:(port number I chose) To access it externally i type: ip address of server: (port number I chose) I don't think the router/firewall should be a problem because downloading Apache on it's own and trying to access it externally works no problem. Then using Apache in easyphp doesn't work. |

Interesting, is the port the same when using with Apache on its own versus easyphp? |

It looks like it might be a default easyphp setting where the Apache instance is only listening to the default loopback IP address of localhost 127.0.0.1, see http://www.easyphp.org/forums/18/146706/146738/re__easyphp_over_network_not_working_ |
