After installing wampserver 3.0.6 on windows 8, it would seem that I cannot reach it from another pc or phone (they're connected with the same network). The message displayed in the navigator when trying to reach the server from another device (reach by typing the ipv4 adress in the navigator) is :
This site can’t be reached
192.168.x.x took too long to respond.
not the Forbidden : access denied window !
I solved this problem by allowing port 80 or any port that you use in firewall.
Open Windows Firewall
New Inbound Rules
Choose Port option, click next
Choose TCP, Specific local ports: 80
Finished.

I have netgear 1500 wifi DSL router having private IP 192.168.1.1. I am running apache 2.4 in my desktop PC having IP 192.168.1.2 and my laptop has an IP 192.168.1.3. While I try to access the apache server as http://192.168.1.2:80/index.html I get a message requested URL /index.html not found, while it shows up properly when I access is as localhost.
I have done port forwarding for port:80 and firewalls are stopped.
I have quickheal running in the same machine in which apache runs. Both machines are windows.
What do I need to do so that I can access the server from my laptop?
I have added the privileges through http.conf also.
I see another problem - when I ping the desktop machine, which runs the server, the request is timed out.
Thanks
The problem has been solved. Skype and antivirus are using port 80. Making apache listen to other port - like 8080 solved the problem.
I learned that apache "does not" share a port with other applications.
Hope someone else might be helped from this.

I have installed XAMPP on my pc and I change all port from '443' to '4433' and '80' to '8080' but when I start Apache it say me that port '80' is already use but Apache must use '8080' and when I go to 'http://localhost/' it display me a 404 error then I don't know what to do.
With netstat -ao on 'cmd' I see that port '80' is using by a program whit 'PID=4' and I see in the task manager that this PID is for "NT Kernel & System" so I can not kill it.
Please try with the port number http://localhost:8080
it seems like you have changed the port from here C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf
Listen 12.34.56.78:80 to 8080
Listen 80 to 8080
Alternative if want to use port 80 then
If the skype is open try to change the port from the select options(80/443).Sometimes this is the problem.IIS server if running it might use the same port
You can use some tools to kill the process for example, currports, TCPview etc.Hope it helps to solve your problem.
I had the same problem after upgrading to Windows 10. I had to stop the IIS service: "World Wide Web Publishing Service". After stopping/disabling it, it freed up port 80.
Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc (opens taskmanager), Services and stop W3SVC service - World Wide Web Publishing Service;
I had same problem.
You change your port 80 to 8080.
Therefore to log localhost, you have to use http://localhost:8080/xampp/ and not http://localhost/xampp/
Then when you use xampp control panel, sometime you have to face same problem as I was.
Can't go to admin page using admin button in mysql. To get rid of this problem you can do following changes.
Go to xampp control panel.
Using config button open configuration of control pannel. Then click service and port setting and under appache setting you can change your main port 80 to 8080.
Ok, here is my problem:
I am runing WampServer 2.5 on my windows 7 Home Premium PC and I have a TP-Link TL-WR642G v2 router updated to the latest official firmware (download site). I have forwarded port 80 to my pc (ip 192.168.1.111, static) and disabled all the firewalls (see images). When i turn on WAMP, and enter localhost or 127.0.0.1 or 192.168.1.111 or even my wan ip (93.103.90.XXX) everything connects and I get my test html page but when I enter my wan ip on any machine that is not connected to my router the page doesn't load - i don't even get 403 forbidden (and yes my wamp says server online an i have edited the httpd.conf). Also http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ and http://www.whatsmyip.org/port-scanner/ say port 80 is closed/timed out. Everything worked fine a week ago and i could access my server from anywhere with my public ip. I also tried other ports but i get the same thing, tried WAMP 2.4 with no success. All i did from last week was downgrade from Ultimate to Home Premium and install the drivers of course (but I guess that has no effect) and upgraded my router firmware (linked above). Any idea why it doesn't work? Does anyone have the older firmware, so I can try downgrading to it?
Thank you for reading, David :O
If you haven't done so already; then change the Management port of the Router to something other than port 80. That way you aren't conflicting with the WampServer. This is more than likely the issue.
You shouldn't have to change anything in the Firewall as Virtual Servers will set a rule to allow the packets.
As a test can you try to open up other ports on your computer like SSH or Telnet. If you find the that forwarding settings work to these protocols then you know the issue is not with the Router or ISP, but with a firewall setting on the Computer.
You can use this site to see if your ports are open (if you are on the LAN): http://www.canyouseeme.org/
I have a windows server 2008 VPS with no software installed on it and the only way to connect to it is remote desktop connection so I have to prepare it from scratch.
I installed apache server on it BUT after installing apache:
ON THE VPS:
when i go to localhost i get the "it works!" Home page so this sounds ok.
and "Netstat -a" results shows port 80 ok as following:
From other pc
- can't go to homepage via browser.
NOTE: I don't have a domain but i wish to access via browser using the VPS ip.
nevermind guys it worked now.
I just added port 80 to firewall. I thought that if the port stats is Listening then it is ok but I found out that I have to add the port to the firewall too.
I installed Apache with WAMP. I want to make my computer as a server for my web page for make some experiment on my web site.But I can`t open my server in Internet. I can see it in http://localhost/mysite/index.html but when I try to reach it in another computer like http://myserverip/mysite/index.html it says server not responding. I am using wireless router and also forwarded to my LAN ip.
A few ideas:
check that apache is bound to your PC's internal IP rather than just localhost - run netstat -an and verify that you have local address 0.0.0.0:80 not 127.0.0.1:80
check that you're definitely forwarding port 80 from the router to your PC
check that you're not firewalling off the traffic, i.e. make sure there's an exception in the windows firewall for port 80 (and 443 if you're using HTTPS), or a program exception for httpd, or even try turning off the firewall temporarily whilst debugging this
find out if your ISP is blocking this - some won't let you run web servers from your home connection; you could try a different web port to see if that helps?
try connecting from some other machine - there could be some proxy configuration that's upsetting looping back into your PC
