HI All
I have a functioning WAMP server on Windows 10.. all green.
I have 2 wordpress sites and a straight html site.
They are all in subdirectories WWW.

I can see all sites on my internal network, but can only get to the normal html site externally.
The wordpress sites wont connect.
I can also get to MySQL and PHPMyAdmin externally as well.

Is this a WAMP issue or wordpress issue?

Cheers
Scott

Hi Scott

Its not a WAMPServer issue or a wordpress issue, its a lack of understanding issue.

How are you trying to access your sites externally i.e. the url you use?

Have you created Virtual Hosts for all your sites?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Windows 10 Pro 64bit) (Wampserver 3.3.4 64bit) Aestan Tray Menu 3.2.5.4
<Apache versions MULTIPE> <PHP versions MULTIPLE> <MySQL Versions MULTIPLE>
<MariaDB versions MULTIPLE> <phpMyAdmin versions MULTIPLE> <MySQL Workbench 8.0.23>

Read The Manuals Apache -- MySQL -- PHP -- phpMyAdmin
Get your Apache/MySQL/mariaDB/PHP ADDONs here from the WAMPServer alternate Repo

I have not created virtual hosts.
I am accessing using home.scottvinnicombephotography.com:8080
8080 is being forwared to port 80.

Using the above I can see the WAMP Home page and can access phpmyadmin

home.scottvinnicombephotography.com:8080/wordpress gets me a timeout
home.scottvinnicombephotography.com:8080/test I can get to (one file in there and index.html

the above domain is forwarded to a dynamic service, if I use the dynamic dns directly I get the same result.

So is it the fact that I have not put wordpress on a virtual server?

Thanks for the help Cheers
Scott

Scott,

I can access scottvinnicombephotography.com without the port 8080 i.e. using the default port 80.

So if thats not good enough, you had better explain exactly what you are trying to do.
