How can i host a web site?

**mesut** · 01-21-2004

i've an ADSL modem connected my pc via eth0, its ip is 192.168.1.1
when i type it on a browser it goes to modem confg page.

i've an apache server running,and i want to host my own web page,but when i type my real ip to browser it again goes to modem confg page.

Do i need 2 ip's?

before (with dial-up) it was working.

what happens if u type http://localhost:80 in your browser? does it
display the webpage? 192.168.1.1 I guess is the default ip route to the modem config page....what ip have you assigned in the httpd.conf file?

Code:

http&#58;//localhost

works, but entering my ip does not.

You probably won't be able to do that internally from your network. Ask a friend to try to access it from his/her connection, and see if that works.

might be <ip-addr>:80 is designed to go to the modem config page, can you try assigning a diff port number and see if that works using ip?

i changed the port number to 81, then both http://ip and http://localhost doesnt work.

before this,i tried my ip from babelfish.altavista.com and i get 401 error.
my friends tried my ip, they got same errors.

i tried all of above on WinXP+iis (confgrtion is easier) the results are same.

(above i changed the port number of iis).
then i changed port number of modem page,
now http://localhost works, http://ip says page cannot be found, http://ip:newportnumber goes modem page.

I sounds to me that you have a modem-router. Right?
In that case are you sure that you have your modem fowording the port 80 requests to your machine?

A friend of mine had to configure the modem iptables before he could get his ftp-server to take resquestes from outside his home-lan.
Don't know if that's that's the case with you....

my modem is this or this
im not sure. but it has router features.

Well, this is what i'd try:
- Configure the router for a certain iprange for you network
- Use the router's web-config page to configure it so: resquests on port 80 get set to a designated ip within your network.

I think this should work
