Quick Apache Server Test

Darg · 22 Aug 2008 at 16:39

Hey guys,

can anyone please click on this link and let me know if they can access the page from an external address, it's just a little gallery I'm working on while getting some Apache/PHP experience.

Once I get a reply I'll take the link down, I don't like leaving my IP address floating around. **EDIT: Address taken down, thanks Una

Thanks!

PS: Oh and how would one go about registering an IP address as a domain name, for example if I wanted to register it as www.shanecgfx.com. Do I just have to give them the correct IP address?

I know it's probably easier to just rent a host server but I wanted to look into running an apache server off my own machine, and I know my IP address isn't static so it will most likely change every few days but these are problems I can work on

Him actually, despite the slightly feminine name

Sorry, I just knew an Una that was a girl, assumed. Oh well, it's the internet, you can just say you're a girl from now on.

That was a lot easier then I thought it would be! Thanks mate!!

EDIT: btw I am using a program called FreeDNS update to update the IP address regularly to the website. It's just a little program that runs minimised in the background.
