Have you port forwarded port 80 on your router?

Hi Craig,
I just went trough this and had a few problems. Here's how I did it with some tips.
I used Virtual Hosts following SteveMartin's suggestions in this [forum.wampserver.com].

This works but your requirements may be different.

I'm using yoru sample Domain name as an example, replace my names with yours as appropriate.

I used the install default C:\wamp
I put my sites in subdirectories of C:\mysites
I put my VirtualHost cnfigurations files in C:\wamp\vhosts [see httpd.conf]
I named each subdireoctory with the Domain name I used e.g mysite.dyndns-server.com
I also named the VHost configuration files in C:\wamp\vhosts with the same name and a .conf extension
[ I patched C:\wamp\www\index.php to display these in the localhost wamperserver page]


I got a free Domian name / DNS entry and pointed it at my public IP address.
When testing locally I included entries in C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\hosts for mysite.dyndns-
server.com.
When 'ONLINE' I commented out this entry so I access via the internet DNS.

Here are my relevant httpd.conf entries In :
C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.4.4\conf\httpd.conf

ServerRoot "c:/wamp/bin/apache/apache2.4.4"
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www"

Troubleshooting :

Test everything locally first
Then comment out the hosts entries for the site.
Make sure that you have port forwarded port 80 to your Apache server.

If things don't start or run as expected run this in a CMD Window
It checks for config errors and you'll also see if Apache sees your Vhosts as you expected. It often catches errors / typos you can't find.

C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.4.4\bin\httpd -S

I re-direct the output into a .txt file that I keep open in Notepad++

When accessing your site, you may get 404 errors if Apache can't find your pages. This can happen if your VHost definitions are wrong,
403 errors when your <Directory> permissions forbid serving them, check your <Directory > names and permissions

If you don't understand what is happening, look at your logs.
When troubleshooting I leave them open in separate tabs in NotePad++, and the files refresh as they change.

c:\wamp\logs\apache_error.log
c:\wamp\logs\access.log
C:\mysitesLogs\mysite.dyndns-server.com-error.log
C:\mysitesLogs\mysite.dyndns-server.com-access.log

ty BConOfLight ,

Solved--
i have all wamp files on the other drive and compared could not figure out why it was not working.

yes i have port 80 forwarded but that was for the crashed machine not the one , i am working on,
changed the ip comcast (10.0.0.XX) to this computer and

Viola!!

ty again,

zpupster( with a red face)

local host works bring up index.php from C:/www/wamp

127.0.01 works the same page

testmysql.php lworks--connection OK

also

good.dyndns-server.com works

brings up

index.php

from

C:/websites/www/good.dyndns-server.com

this has been solved!!!!!!!!!!!!!
