Hi …
what I need to make my local server accessible from outside when i`m on the net ?
when I write my ip/public on my pc is work, but from another pc i got page not found, what setting I need to change ?
Alias /public/ "C:/PHP/www/public/"
<Directory "C:/PHP/www/public/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
DirectoryIndex index.htm
</Directory>
this from httpd.conf .
thx
At a guess then, your ISP could be blocking port 80, if entering your public IP into your browser on the PC running the server works but it doesn’t work from an external pc then it’s most likely to be that than anything else.
Hi Karl …
I don`t think so … be coz if I enter just my ip i get ‘Forbidden’ msg … this mean port 80 is open, but I think is settings in httpd.conf !
Can you post the relevant parts of your httpd.conf? Like the virtualhost block? (If you’re using it) and the directive concerning what IPs and ports to listen too.
hmm … this the hard question 
im on network stand from 3 pc , and I didnt edit any thing in httpd.conf, this what u need ?!
#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, in addition to the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
#Listen 3000
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
#
# BindAddress: You can support virtual hosts with this option. This directive
# is used to tell the server which IP address to listen to. It can either
# contain "*", an IP address, or a fully qualified Internet domain name.
# See also the <VirtualHost> and Listen directives.

#BindAddress *
# Port: The port to which the standalone server listens. Certain firewall
# products must be configured before Apache can listen to a specific port.
# Other running httpd servers will also interfere with this port. Disable
# all firewall, security, and other services if you encounter problems.
# To help diagnose problems use the Windows NT command NETSTAT -a

# You will have to access it by its address (e.g., [http://123.45.67.89/](http://123.45.67.89/))

Hi,
Try changing:
#BindAddress *
To
BindAddress *
And restarting Apache and see how you go.
page not found 
Hi,
according to the documentation the use of the BindAddress directive is deprecated, also as default BindAddress is already set to ``*‘’.
Your main problems, for what I can see…, were two:
Here is your httpd.conf modified, I maked in bold what I edited:
#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, in addition to the default. See also the <VirtualHost>

Shows how much I manually configure Apache these days without using vhost blocks.
Hi Karl …
I got apache error !
Syntax error on line 339 of c:/php/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command '<Directory>', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not in
cluded in the server configuration
I found the error :
<Directory />
when I removed the slash work fine thx alot !
But now the whole folders is accessible … i need to make 1 folder accessible … is that possible ?
