Some of my questions havent been getting any responses on EE recently, but I figured I'd give it one last shot before giving up.
I successfully installed Apache 1.3.33 (Win32), PHP 4.3.11, and MySQL onto my XP Pro machine and I can view the site from any machine on the LAN by going to
http://<my-lan-ip>:3000. The problem is that I cant access the site from a computer outside of the LAN.
I was told by my ISP that port 80 is blocked so I setup my Dlink DI-514 router to forward all port 3000 requests on the WAN side to port 80 on the local machine with Apache installed. I also configured the Listen Directive in the httpd file to 80 and 3000. Furthermore, I set ServerName to the Apache-installed machines static DHCP IP, which I set on the Dlink as well: <my-lan-ip>.
I tried setting both the httpd file and the dlink to use port 3000 for the web server and not mess with port 80 at all, but that doesnt work either.
When I try to go to
http://<my-wan-ip>:3000 via firefox, I get: The operation timed out when attempting to contact <my-wan-ip>
Any suggestions?
