[users@httpd] home computer as a server

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi - I'm a newbie here, so loads of apologies before I make a complete fool
of myself.

Apache 2.0
Windows XP Pro
Cable internet access - always on

I am trying to set up my home computer so that my friends and family can
view photos of my kids that I have put together in a website on my computer.
I have installed Apache2, and http://localhost/ successfully brings up the
apache web server welcome page, as does http://XXX.XXX.XX.XXX (my IP
address). I have worked out how to replace this page with a page of my
choice, but I am unable to get anyone else access to the page over the
internet (which I assume is possible). I have a laptop connected to my
computer on a home network, and that can reach the page via my IP, but no
one else can. I have disabled my Windows Firewall in an attempt to get it to
work, but with no luck. I am sure it is something very simple, but I can't
figure it out.

If anyone has some advice, or can point me to some step by step instructions
somewhere on the internet, that would be great.

Cheers,
Alun
