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.On Fri, Jan 11, 2019 at 10:37 PM Jonathon Koyle <litereader@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: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.On Fri, Jan 11, 2019 at 11:14 AM John <john.iliffe@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Start here:What you need to do is open port 80 (unencrypted http), that is, Internet browsers. Be sureyou 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.John========================================On Fri, 2019-01-11 at 20:04 +0200, Stathis G.

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.
