That's too small to see anything.

Step 1 Open your web browser and enter the IP address of your D-Link router (192.168.0.1). Enter username (admin) and your password (blank by default).

Step 2 Click on the Advanced tab at the top and then click Virtual Server on the left side.

From the D-link site (My comments in parentheses):

Step 3 Check Enabled to activate entry.

Step 4 Enter a name for your virtual server entry. (Webserver maybe)

Step 5 Next to Private IP, enter the IP address of the computer on your local network that you want to allow the incoming service to. (If you aren't sure what it is, hit start then run and type in "cmd" and hit enter. When it loads type "ipconfig" and your ip will be displayed, and its usally 192.168.0.x)

Step 6 Choose Protocol Type - either TCP, UDP, or both. If you are not sure, select both.

Step 7 Enter the port information next to Private Port and Public Port. The private and public ports are usually the same. The public port is the port seen from the WAN side, and the private port is the port being used by the application on the computer within your local network. (For a webserver, the port is 80.)

Step 8 Enter the Schedule information.

Step 9 Click Apply and then click Continue.

ok i have fixed that all now when i asked a friend to go into my site he said it works it shows apache test page now im following a guide to make this server and i edited the files like the guide required then i tryed restarting apache said " The Requested Operation Has Failed " now i tryed uninstalling apache and reinstalling it now when i reinstall it, it says file apache 2 cannot be found so their no installion files i was trying to add php to apache.

And if you will build this server for me i will give you any information required

Skie · 12-01-2005, 08:32 PM

First of all, you had it working. It just needed to be configured properly. What I would do is uninstall Apache again. Then reboot. Then re-install Apache. See if you can get it to install properly. If you can, make sure it works. If it does, find the httpd.conf file and look through it for the VirtualHost section (probably towards the bottom). This is where you need to set your options for your site and where you'll tell Apache where your HTML/PHP files are located.

krakozia · 12-01-2005, 08:38 PM

ok good ill try restarting and installing again if it works can u help me out with the configuration i basickly want a webhosting site like yours Skie.....

TOTaly messed up i need major help right now. I reinstall in and i press start and it says the serivice Apache2 is not installed how can i install it please help i need to get my server running.

Skie · 12-01-2005, 09:22 PM

What is the file name that you downloaded to install Apache?

krakozia · 12-01-2005, 09:38 PM

it is called

apache_2.0.55-win32-x86-no_ssl

Skie · 12-01-2005, 10:57 PM

When you did the install, did you select "for All Users, on Port 80, as a Service" or "only for the Current User, on Port 8080, when started Manually"?

krakozia · 12-01-2005, 10:59 PM

for all users

Skie · 12-01-2005, 11:21 PM

Do you have a little Icon by the clock for Apache?

krakozia · 12-01-2005, 11:21 PM

Right click on it and choose Open Apache Monitor. Select the service and click Start. If that doesn't work, post the error message. Also, if it doesn't work, click the Services button in the monitor. Towards the top you should see "Apache2". If you don't, post and say so.

krakozia · 12-01-2005, 11:33 PM

this is what shows up when i hit start and there is no apache2 service i think somthings wrong when it installs because ive tryed uninstalling many times i did add/ remove programs and that removed it to ive restarted my comp so .... what can i do to fix this problem?

Skie · 12-01-2005, 11:41 PM

Try this. Open a DOS window by clicking Start, then Run. Type in "cmd" (without the quotes). Now type the following 2 commands exactly as I have listed:

Code:

cd "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\bin\"
apache.exe -k install -n "Apache2"

Skie · 12-01-2005, 11:47 PM

That's 2 seperate commands. One per line. Just type type the first, hit enter, then type the second and hit enter.

krakozia · 12-01-2005, 11:50 PM

didn't work but what if you had msn and we did remote assistance
and you could click everything and type everything yourself so i dont make any mistakes if you want it would just be very helpful

Skie · 12-01-2005, 11:53 PM

You did the commands in the wrong order. And I'm using Linux, not Windows. I can't access a Windows computer in the manner that you're describing, especially if you have a firewall.

You need to do the first command exactly as I wrote it, THEN do the second command.

krakozia · 12-01-2005, 11:57 PM

Finnaly there is some results now what i type?

and by the way thanks for all this help
