Good day,
a page hosted on localhost should be accessible with a smartphone. At least there is already a connection through which pages can be called up on the smartphone and inspected on the desktop PC.
If you call localhost on your smartphone you get "Error: Connection failed". Something has to be adjusted to make it work. How can connect to localhost?
With the IP (127.0.0.1) there is the same error message. Is it maybe a different IP? Or port forwarding, or port forwarding reverse? I can't find enough information about this in my language, but a connection already exists, shouldn't be missing a lot.
Solved. The network profile had to be switched to private. The IPv4 address of the desktop PC then led directly to the "Index of localhost". Thanks for the solutions, it finally works.

I have installed xampp server on my windows 7.
I am connecting internet using HUAWEI Dongle.
I don't have any static IP address.i Want to access my php file from internet example I have connected to internet now I have dynamic IP address like 100.101.73.240 if some one enter 100.101.73.240/home.php in his browser address bar then my home.php page should open in his browser.
What should I do for this give me step by step guide.
Local Ip can't work over the internet. It's your intranet network. If you have dynamic internet IP, then you simply configure the Dynamic DNS service. Which you can configure your Internet Router with the following settings (provided by the Dynamic DNS service providers).
dyn.com
noip.com
dynu.com
many more.
Thanks
If you want to share IP with someone from your local area network:
Go to cmd, run ipconfig command, and find your local IP, which should be like 192.168.xxx.yyy. You can easily share it with no worries it will change each time you reset your network.
If it's someone from external network:
You have no power to share your external IP if you have dynamic one, it will change too often, but still it should work for a short connection sessions. To obtain a stable address you would have to register a domain
forward port 80 TCP/UDP on router (OPENED)
port 80 TCP/UDP on firewall (OPENED)
httpd.conf - httpd-xampp.conf (EDITED)
But when I try visiting by my ip I get nothing on browser,
its working on LAN and WLAN not on internet
What I should to do?
there better way to make PC as webserver?
which is best OS for server?
Some ISPs won't allow port 80 to be connected to from outside your home network as an attempt to block people from hosting a website from their home network. Try setting your server to listen on a different port (85 is generally not in use) and you should be able to connect to it.
As for your other question, in my opinion, Ubuntu (or any flavor of Linux) is a good OS for a web server. Ubuntu is free and easy to use and there are plenty of resources online if you have any problems.
I have a high speed cable internet connection at home. I have D-link router, and I connect 2 computers, one is a desktop running Windows XP, the other is a laptop running Windows 7. I am perfectly able to use internet on both computers.
Now I want to host my personal web site from my home computer. I have already built the site that is running on my home network. Now I want to make it accessible from internet. I did all the procedures to open the appropriate ports on my router, allow incoming connections, and port forwarding setup, using the router's guide : http://www.dlink.com/-/media/Consumer_Products/DIR/DIR%20826L/Manual/DIR_826L_MANUAL_EN_UK.pdf .
However I am still not able to see my web site from public internet.
When I try to go to my site using my local IP address (192.168.0.103) or computer name, the site is loaded on other home computer, but when I try the same using my public IP address (found with "what is my ip" on google search), I get "Page cannot be loaded" error.
Can someone please help me telling what I am doing wrong, and how the problem can be fixed?
Thanks in advance.
Are you attempting to hit your WAN IPaddress from inside your house, aka, on the lan that the WAN would hit? It could be NAT Reflection/lack thereof getting in your way. Make sure you're trying to hit your WAN IP from a network outside of your local network. If you have a phone, turn off wifi, and use your phone.
Besides that, you've listed all of the basic steps necessary. Should the above not be the problem, I would start by checking your PCs firewall. In particular on Windows 7 checking to make sure you click real hard on that "public networks" button. Then just try and ping port 80, not load the webpage. If you can't ping, it suggests configuration issues with your router/connection. If you can, there's just some configuration that's effed up with your webserver.
I'm doing this (Chrome Remote Debuggin): https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/remote-debugging
I'd like to be able to access localhost or any of my vhosts (via apache on my desktop) from my phone so that I can debug a local site.
Is there ANY way to do this?
Thanks so much!
Do I understand correctly that you are running Apache on a workstation and want to connect your phone to a website hosted on it?
Yes, that is possible. The simplest method is to join your phone to the same network (WiFi) as your workstation and connect your phone to http://IP-ADDRESS-OF-WORKSTATION. Then use the Remote Debugging as usual.
Alternatively, you need to configure your WiFi router to enable port forwarding. The basic idea is your WiFi router controls traffic between your private home network (where your workstation is) and the public Internet (where your phone is), and port forwarding allows inbound traffic from the Internet to be routed into your private network.
Here's the configuration page for my WiFi router. My workstation's private IP address is 192.168.1.5 and I'm running Apache on the default port 80. If my public IP address was 8.8.8.8 then I would enter http://8.8.8.8:3000 in my phone's browser, and the router would redirect the request to my workstation at 192.168.1.5:80.
In either setup, you'll need to find your workstation's private IP address (e.g., use "Open Network Preferences" from your WiFi status icon on Mac OS X). You can find your WiFi router's public IP address by just googling "my IP address" from your workstation.
Obviously the first method (placing your phone and workstation on the same network) is quite a bit simpler. Port forwarding can be tricky to debug, and the configuration is slightly different for every router. Do post follow-up questions if you get stuck somewhere.
lets make it simple to answer.
I installed Apache 2.2. Now when I do 127.0.0.1 in Firefox, I get the "It works" page. When I do 10.0.1.10 (my servers internal IP) on another PC on the SAME network, I won't get anything :-(. I forwarded port 80 on my router and made sure Firewall doesn't block Apache. If I type my external IP:80 I still can't get into my "index.html". My settings (more less default)
Network Domain: localhost
Server Name: localhost
I also got a FTP via FileZilla running on that PC. It works perfectly, even over Internet. I have also set up a DynDns hostname. If I do ftp://mydyndns.hostname.com I get to my ftp server.
What am I missing? Some more Windows setup?
Thanks a lot in advance!
I installed Linux on my computer and found all servers run better on it :) Thanks everyone...
