http server through ip address
How can I make the contents of my public_html folder accessible from other computers given that I know my ip address. I can currently view http://127.0.0.1/filename and I'd like to be able to see http://XXX.X.X.X/filename? Here's some info from the bottom of the localhost screen.
Apache/2.0.55 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.1.2 Server at 127.0.0.1 Port 80
Thanks.

Determine your external (dynamic or static) IP address and forward TCP port:80 to the IP address of your Ubuntu server. Now, from the Internet type http://youripaddress and assuming proper setup - should work. You can also register your dynamic IP address with a Dynamic DNS provider so that you can utilize your own domain name for easier management.
