So it looks like you haven't uploaded your index.html page yet to the
root folder of your server.
Now open your httpd.config file and look for:
ServerName localhost:80
Change localhost to:
http://backbtn.ddns.netThen type your domain name in the browser. It should load the index
page or at least the default apache page. For now at least.
Have you also got access to your router's Admin login details? Because
you also need to enter the details in dynamic tab of the router to make
sure inbound traffic is allowed. If you are on SKY then you might have
a problem because they don't allow inbound traffic for home users but
you might have a different subscription plan so things might be different.
I am on the cheapest plan possible because all the internet work I do
are from the Library (before the lockdown) or from Work. at home I only
do some development work as a hobby.
