Site no longer visible to the world

[Dr Zoidberg]

Just a few weeks ago i set up some pages in Apache running from a system at home, once port forwarding was set up everything worked great, and tested through a proxy, then other people that needed it had access fine.

Today i found a program called WAMP Server

It has Apache MYSql and PhP all in one with some management options with it,
So i installed this and transferred the site files to it,
Slightly different location to the old Apache set up but using localhost it all works,

But it is no longer visible to the outside world and for the life of me i can not work out why.

It is stilling using the correct ports and they are forwarded,

I just don't know what else to look at that might prevent it working outside of localhost.

Are you using a software firewall on the PC.

If you are make sure that the port is open and the program WAMP Server has permission through the firewall and make sure all the ports are open for the server connection.

It is windows firewall, the problem i know have is im not sure what to allow through

With the original Apache install i had

c:/profram files/Apache group/apache2/bin/Apache.exe

and that was allowed

now i have c:/wamp/bin/apache/bin
so basically leading to the same place for the new install, but there is no Apache.exe any where, i think it is just installed as a service,

I don't know how to get it through the firewall????

I have added the WAMPserver.exe to the firewall settings but that is not working

Problem solved, apache.exe is now httpd.exe
Thanks for the help
