easyphp - wrong software?

[wesley]

Got easyphp installed with phpbb forum on server at home, can browse phpbb forum 'locally'

but i cannot connect the forum from outside my network, i've forwarded port 80 to this machine in my router.

got a domain from no-ip, it worked fine when i connected to my Windows Home Server from outside my network.

or am i doing everything wrong.

thanks

it's a networking issue. not sure how to explain it exactly. it's because your hosting on the same machine behind a router.

2 things you can do, and that is goto webwarper.net and enter your url/ip address and you should be able to browse your site through that. or post the url here and someone can verify it's working.

then to be able to browse the site locally once you've tested it works "outside", you can edit your local hosts file like this

127.0.0.1 mydomain.no-ip.org

i have exactly the same issue as i'm hosting my signature on my pc behind a router but i did the above and it appears to be working fine.

that's it.
