plz help with router etc.

[henky]

hello all,
I'd like to set up my own server,
but when I use apache(i've only used it on windows) I have difficulties because I have a router, I don't know how to set apache with linux so that people all over the world can access my site.

thanks

You have to find what port your Apache server is using and open that in your router. Usually if you type in http://192.168.0.1 you will access your router.

Any more help - just ask,

Tim

Did it work for Windows and you now have problems with apache on Linux?

This might help getting people all over the world to help find your site. You can find your external IP (the one your router has) with these commands. If you have a static IP, this is pointless though.

cd /tmp
wget http://www.whatismyip.com 2>/dev/null
grep "<TITLE>" ./index.html | awk '{print $3}' | cut -d\< -f1
