Making WAMP able to release websites

[Wizet]

How can you make WAMP to get it to be able to get a website into the public? Here are the things I don't want you to say:

1. Put the files in the www folder.
2. Turn on WAMP
3. Restart WAMP
4. Is your WAMP white? yellow or red?

Start up the apache webserver? and then goto http://localhost
well that was what I did for xampp
try putting a index.html in the www folder....

When you start up WAMPSERVER I think Apache is already set up. But I think it is set up in a way that only you can see it. Also my website is a CMS.

You need to press "put online" and shutdown your firewall (or make an exeption)

"Put Online"? What am I making an exception for? Also I was told on another website that I should Port Forward.

Press the wamp icon, and press "Put online", otherwise wamp will stay offline

Well yeah you may have to port forward or add a exception for the application/port80 or you have to do both and port forward port 80 and add a exception for the app/port 80 in your firewall

 

[Wizet]

can anyone try and check if http://www.maplemarket.hopto.org works now?

Run apache off a different port. Port 80 is probably blocked. Under the httpd.conf, you should be able to change the port. Then port forward the port to your computer.

 

[Wizet]

Where in httpd.conf do I change? Also what do I type to port forward onto my computer?

 

[cenobite321]

To change the port search for the next lines in the httpd.conf file (click on the WAMP tray icon then Apache --> httpd.conf

Listen 80

and

localhost:80

and change the port number to something else. That is also the port you need to add to the firewall exception in Windows and the one you need to forward in your router.

Personally I wouldn't recommend to change WAMP's settings, since I believe this is more a problem with either your router or your ISP, I would recommend you to call to your ISP and ask for assistance on how to forward a port in your router/modem.

You can also check if a port is open in http://canyouseeme.org, I suggest you to do this before anything else.

Here is the part of my httpd.conf:
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80

How do I edit it?

 

[xPlozion]

you edit it with notepad

 

[Wizet]

I meant like what do you replace it with...

 

[xPlozion]

i was just messing w/ u

you would change the port to any port that isn't being used on your computer. a popular second port for web servers is 8080 or 8000, but any port other than 80 you will have to type in www.servername.com:port.

 

[Wizet]

Can you help me see if maplemarket.hopto.org:8080 works. If it does is no-ip able to get an ip and port number to equal a domain?
Edit:
I really have had enough of this. Can some one please teamviewer on me so this can be finished once and for all? Sorry for sounding so rude.

 

[gptsven]

why dont you just build your site with WAMP and just upload it after? or did I miss something=)

 

[Wizet]

Never I some how got it fixed by mixing up abyss webserver and wampserver. Hhahah I think I sound like I'm drunk. *Mod close thread please?*
