Hello i have an old windows xp pc im trying to turn into a server for hobbyist purposes. I downloaded and installed the apache xampp 1.8 distribution. Once installed and tested that the localhost worked, I connected my domain to my servers ip. So my problem is when i tried to connect to my site on my pc on the same network, they all were able to load the domain/site inside the network successfully but when i have a pc thats outside the network try it fails. Any ideas?. thanks.
You have used a private IP instead of public IP so it does not get resolved to your server. You have to use a public IP (if you have a static IP from your provider you have to setup port forwarding on your router.) If you get the IP from DHCPD server you will need to use dynamic DNS and port forwarding.

I have an assignment to assign a new IP address to my VMware Ubuntu virtual machine and then deploy a WordPress site on it.
I used PuTTY to remotely connect from my Windows 10 host to the VM using ssh.
At first with the default config, I successfully deployed it.
However when I try to change the IP address of the VM by using UI I cannot connect through PuTTY anymore.
Is there anything I did wrong when I changed the IP address like that?
First, you can use openSSH instead of putty on Windows 10 nowoadays.
And you would then connect to it in command line with
ssh user#<serverName / IP address>
But, if you are using an IP address instead of a server name, then yes, changing said IP would change your URL (and your Putty configuration)
I have a Ubuntu Server 16.04 running on a machine in my local network.
The machine has static assigned IP and running apache2. There is no problem in connecting to it from my local network.
I have port-forwarding for ports 22 and 80 setup on my router to the IP address of the machine.
When I check the ports with my public IP address on sites like http://www.canyouseeme.org/ the result is that the ports are open. When I try to connect using my public IP address and using those ports the connections are refused.
I tried disabling firewall in the router and also on the machine, no result.
What else should I try? It seems that the server is getting no incoming connection when I check with netstat.
Just for troubleshooting purposes:
Setup port forwarding on port 22 and try to ssh into your server using the public IP? If it works, it means apache is refusing the connections and not your router or ISP
On your router, setup the server on the DMZ temporarily and check if it works
Add another port forwarding rule on your router to redirect all http requests on port 8000,for example, to port 80 internally, then try to access your server with http://[public_ip]:8000
Have you changed anything on the apache2.conf file? Also, explain how you are testing the connection, internally using the public IP or from the Internet?
I have installed XAMPP to run Apache server on windows,So the Apache server run great on LAN (Local Area Network ).
But i need to run the server ,so the public can access it from WAN
(Wide Area Network) .
I have forward HTTP port 80 on 4G portable router ,but no device can access the Apache server from Public (WAN)
** I have tried DDNS solutions also with no success.
The issue is most likely the 4g network itself. It seems they don't allow servers to wait on their network.
i have an ibm server, a tp-link router with an static ip and DHCP activated, i want to configure one of the net boards in the ibm server.
I installed Ububntu server and access to the net board configuration using this command:
vi /etc/network/interfaces
I configure the server with this
address -> i put an ip that i resrve in the router
netmask
network
broadcast
gateway
I have a subdomain from no ip i have entered in the server so i can do remote connection to the server throw this subdomain and ssh. I have put the subdomain in /etc/host.conf
The thing is i have access to the subdomain in the web and out of the LAN net. But when i try to connect to the server throw ssh it's gave me connection refused.
EDIT:
Using the command arp-scan -I eth0 -l i found that the IP of the server is asigned two times it's look like it's the same ethernet board with two MAC address thar are the same except the las number.
Ok, what's work for me was to reinstall openssh on the server and in my computer. After that I have access throw ssh.
I am having a weird issue hosting my web application. I am able to access the website from any other computer (from outside the network and from within the network) but unable to
access it from the Server!! (using the browser )
The details are as follows
Windows Server 2003
IIS 6.0
The system has got a private IP and a public ip
Accessing by Domain name/Public IP from external and intranet clients works fine.
Accessing by Private IP from the intranet clients works fine
Accessing by PrivateIP or localhost works from the server
Accessing by Public IP or Domain name from the server doesn't work!!
As an extra troubleshooting, I did
telnet localhost 443 - works
telnet publicip 443 - doesn't work
Maybe public IP isn't routeable from your server.
Verify what happens when you try to access publicip:
tracert publicip
Check your network settings:
ipconfig /all
Check your socket listenings:
netstat -a -n
Local firewall rules?
Also, there's always the issue of server loopback, wherein a server cannot resolve a named reference to itself from within the server. Most commonly occurs on intranets, or on SharePoint sites, I've noticed.
The problem was with our DNS settings. We recently changed from Public IP to Private IP and the DNS reply was somewhat messed up when we tried opening it from the Server!!.
Thanks for your answers!
