Connecting a development site to the internet
Posted: Sat Nov 01, 2008 9:29 am
Excuse my ignorance....
I've been merrily playing with and learning CMSMS for a while, which I installed along with XAMPP to provide the PHP and MYsql services. To log on to the site I normally browse to //server2/cmsms. Today I tried to connecting my site to the internet, so I could view it as others would, instead of just on my home LAN.
I have a DYNDNS domain and simply reset the router to point to the second server and have been disappointed because the only page that I can view from the internet is the XAMPP page. I tried using a web proxy server as well as dial-up to ensure that I was genuinely viewing my site from the internet, so I know that the problem isn't a LAN one.
I've tried:
Changing the Document Root path
Changing the Server Root path
Creating a new folder in htdocs and calling it the same name as my domain
I've also searched Google looking for a solution.
Anyone know how to make this work?
