I have installed a magento extension to connect my magento store to facebook store. I want to test the functionality in localhost before I set it in live server. This is the extension I have installed in local.

This is the error I am facing with the facebook extension.
Error! You are using local host, or your IP is not accessible from outside, please contact your hosting provider.
Is there any way available to test this facebook module in localserver ?
I am using magento 1.7.
You will need to make your IP accessible to the outside world, this you can do if you have a static IP. You will need to forward all the request to your IP by port forwarding it to the web server.
And you will have to use your External IP Address instead of localhost in magento to check this. You can get your external ip address from here.

I am running an instance of GeoServer on a linux server and I am trying to access the admin page on a separate machine. Is there a way for me to change the address so that I can access it through a browser?
Just figured it out, find the jetty.xml and search for localhost. Change localhost to your IP address of the server. Then change the firewall settings to allow port 8080, I followed these instructions
I have just moved to a VPS server. I have uploaded my files to httpdcos/ but then when I access my website, it still shows the server default page.
How do I fix this?
My website is at 216.87.168.104 - the server runs Parallels Plesk.
It happens because apache doesn't serves your website on IP to which your domain name resolved.
Check IP of your domain:
nslookup <yourdomain.tld>
Check output of apachectl -S - make sure that domain name is served on resolved IP address
I have a godaddy domain www.example.com. And i have forwarded it to my aws(amazon web services) elastic IP. But my domain is getting forwarded to bitnami's congratulation page instead of my magento application. I want to redirect my domain to magento's application instead of bitnami's congratulations page. Please help me out.
You'll probably find that the default Bitnami Apache configuration is forcefully rewriting all requests to the welcome page. Bitnami AMI's are designed in a way that you need to set up your application using their tools/web interface, which are then exposed at a specific URL context (i.e. http://domain.com/myapp/)
If you want to get around this, you can try modifying the files in the Apache config directory (/etc/httpd/conf.d/*), or use an AMI that isn't preconfigured with that toolset such as Amazon Linux or Ubuntu.
Update 4/12:
I'm using Vigor 2910 (router) to connect to my server. I found out that I cloud view the website correctly by external ip from other PC. But everytime I try to login the browser redirects me to internal ip. Is there any settings I should know besides port forwarding 80 and 443 from external ip to internal ip?
I found a way to fix the problem.
My problem is, when I use another PC connected to different router trying to connect to the PHP site with external IP, it always redirect me to internal IP address.
For example:
Entering site https://140.XXX.XX.XXX
After clicking any objects on the site, then I was redirect to https://192.XXX.X.XXX
Cause I'm connected to the router that I didn't notice it not only affects my PC but also in PHP config.php. In config.php, the redirecting address is written in internal IP instead of external IP.
Just simply change the IP to external IP, then it works.
I am hosting a website using XAMPP. The website uses PayPal API for Express Checkout. If I move the website to a real hosted server (i.e. www.website.com), the PayPal checkout system will work. If I use it from XAMPP (localhost), it won't even connect to PayPal. How would I make this work from my localhost?
Step 1: Port forwarding. Your router has a public ip (not 127.0.0.1) Configure your router to accept requests from the interwebs.
Step 2. Have a spare domain name? Configure your domain # your registar: Point "A" Record to your newly forwarded IP.
Step 3. Add a fake HTTPS cert http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem to the root folder of your XAMPP installation.
Not the end-all, say, all-a guideline. Tricky, but a starting point.
With this approach, you can test Paypal IPN's, use the sandbox, all the good stuff, as well as monkey around with all the other major vendors' api's on your local server.
