Ok, i've posted some other threads about this, but I want to break it down simply.
I've created a project using EasyPHP to set up a small database. This obviously runs Apache, MySQL, phpmyadmin...
Now, everything is set up, and if I run http://localhost, i can browse the project website fully with no errors.
No, i need to be able to access this 'site' for ONE Day only from a university computer.
Apache runs on port 80, and although I know its Dynamic, i know (atm) my current external IP address. I'm behind a belkin router and am NOT connected directly to the router. So, I know my internal IP address and have opened Port 80 in virtual servers settings in the router config page and made it point towards my internal IP address..
I've edited the Apahce Config file, but i'm not sure i've done it correctly.
Can some Please give me some pointers here....? Some sites say that port 80 will not be allowed to be accessed by outside users due to my ISPs restricitions. I've run a small webserver before a few years ago using apache, and that seemed relatively easy to set up....
I think it has something to do with the location of the site files ('www' being in the EasyPHP Folder as opposed to the Apache folder (which is also in the EasyPHP folder)
So, i'm tearing my hair out...i'm sure I know all the information I need to know, and am also sure that its my virtual server code thats probably wrong...
Please Help
Thanks
