Re: Your own web server for free !
 

tryed at 5.07pm and nothing, couldnt ping the named url eather, was it running then?, perhaps your ip no might work. see pm

i could ping the url, silly me forgot to remove the / at the end lol , so was the webserver up and running then an just now? 5.47pm

the name gets translated to the ip but not reachable btw so i assume you didnt have it running.

with the rebol webserver running can you get to it locally i.e http://localhost:80 or :8080 or :3128 depending on what port you set it to as you ran it?, doesnt make sense that your getting to see you routers url as that wouldnt be the local url 127.0.0.1 but rather at presumably 192.168.*.* or 10.0.*.* perhaps.

i just noticed "It works!" off the named url

LOL, so was it the wrong ip no? and put some rebol messageboard stuff there :)

Re: Your own web server for free !
 

Removed Rebol and replaced it with Apache just while I got the routing issues sorted and as you saw "it works". Will figure our Rebol when I have five min but I just couldn't get my head around the config :dunce:

Looks like the routing and port forwarding on my router is working now. Just need to spend time working out how to get the software working. The bits for my server arrived today but I'm not having much luck with them. I fear getting the components to work together will take most of my spare time up over the next few days.

Thanks for the help though popper. It's much appreciated. :)

Re: Your own web server for free !
 

Easy depends on your experience. I run serveral web sites including some quite complex db based ones and I'm not sure I'm upto running my own server. I use a reseller account on i-web solutions which auto creates most stuff and is very easy to admin. For £2 a month i-web will sort you out with a full and proper webspace.

If you fancy a trial I can set you up a test account on mine if you have a domain, if not i can create you a temp test -subdomain.

Multiple domains is only available in the paid X2 version of Abyss without the use of the virtual hosting script which does the job, but its not the same as real multiple sites.
