Title: Disable firewall/Can't view Apache website
Post by: CrAz3D on June 30, 2005, 11:20 AM
I have Norton Internet Security (I think) on our desktop & I am trying to disable the firewall so I can see if that is why I am not able to view my website (that is hosted off this desktop).

Or, maybe it is the webserver...shouldn't be because it used to work but who knows.  I'm trying the local address 192.168.1.101 from this desktop & it won't show the website either.

Anyone have any ideas?

Yeah, everytime I start this computer it says Norton Repair function does not function, reinstall this POS.
Something like that anyway.


I'm gonna remove it & see what that does :(  & try some free AVs & firewalls

I couldn't view my website either, but it turned out it was because my ISP blocked port 80. I resorted to using port 86 instead, and it works fine. Try modifying the Listen part in the apache config (httpd.conf?) and see if that helps (of course, you will have to put :86 or whatever your port is after your IP).

No-ip (http://www.no-ip.com) can send the requests to diffrent ports I believe.

Edit: Add Host->Port 80 Redirect

The port redirection or no-ip? Becuase I use no-ip and I never have any ads on my site.

I just use my IP for an address...I don't like so many pointless programs running.

I have my router allowing port 80

Just because your router allows port 80 doesn't mean your ISP does. Even if I forwarded port 80 on my router my ISP still filters it. You're forgetting the connection goes through Computer -> Router -> Internet(through your ISP.) Anyway, I run my webserver on port 187.

no-ip.org isn't a program, you just go sign up at the website. For instance, my webservers address is http://67.82.16.160:187, and my no-ip.org address is http://krazed.no-ip.org.
