Re: port forwarding and other options for having access to my apache server through the ip address

The only other suggestions I have are to Verify that your server is accessible from another machine, not blocked by a firewall or only listening on loopback.  It isn't likely to be an ISP issue unless they try to restrict you from serving a website...

well, i have a dynamic ip but this is not my problem. I also portforwarded port 80 before sending current question but I still do not have access. 

There are some years passed since the last time I port-forwarded apache server and I thought that maybe some additional modifications from apache-server side are needed as the updates pass through time.

I guess I have to contact my ISP again, it could be an ISP issue.
thank you very much for the quick responses.

You may also need to look into whether you have a static or dynamic IP address.  Many Consumer ISP packages provide dynamic, so the public IP address changes periodically, often a day or two in my experience.  Also note this won't be the IP address of your host machine, but the IP assigned to the router.

Start here:


What you need to do is open port 80 (unencrypted http), that is, Internet browsers. Be sure 
you have appropriate security because you are putting your machine in a hostile environment!
If you don't believe that, look at your log after a few days on the 'net!

If you plan to encrypt your pages, you will also need port 443 open (HTTPS).

Good luck.

Dear Sirs / Madams,

  I was wondering on how I could configure my router and make any other necessary configurations in order to open up my localhost to the web and letting internet users to access my locally stored pages by putting my ip address.

I have an old router and no support is available. My isp does not have support and I received zero responses from the router's support service. I think I have added a port in my router's menu but still internet users do not have access on it.


I am using the latest ms4w package which uses apache 2.4.27 along with mapserver and few other mapping tools.

My router is the technicolor td5130.  

Could anyone provide some feedback please?

Thank you.
