WampServer

Hi I'm xiaokujuju,

Currently I'm a new member to this website and very much new to running a server and I'm getting an error I've been trying to fix all day. I've researched on google, I even searched on these forums, and even went to Stack overflow (A java website) with no results.

My problem begins like this: First I did everything they told me to do, I set up my ip's and my servers in the config file, like this:
WAMP --> Apache --> httpd.config

#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80
Listen [::0]:8080

#
# ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself.
# This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify
# it explicitly to prevent problems during startup.
#
# If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.
#
ServerName localhost:80

#
# Each directory to which Apache has access can be configured with respect
# to which services and features are allowed and/or disabled in that
# directory (and its subdirectories).
#
# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of
# features.
#
<Directory />
AllowOverride none
Require all granted
</Directory>

#
# The following lines prevent .htaccess and .htpasswd files from being
# viewed by Web clients.
#
<Files ".ht*">
Require all denied
</Files>


#
# "c:/wamp/bin/apache/apache2.4.9/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.
#
<Directory "c:/wamp/bin/apache/apache2.4.9/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Require all granted
</Directory>

These are the only places i configured and or am worried about atm, the rest are at default.

Secondly i did this:

C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not
# match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any <VirtualHost> block.
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www"
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias www.localhost
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/fagexsucks/"
ServerName fagexsucks
ServerAlias www.fagexsucks
</VirtualHost>

Then finally I configured my hosts file in system32:

# [My Website Medias]
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 fagexsucks
127.0.0.1 www.localhost
127.0.0.1 www.fagexsucks

Still all this accomplishments only leads to the external ip registering the problem: "Page cannot be loaded" Any ideas?

Hi,

> "Page cannot be loaded" Any ideas?
One should not modify httpd.conf, especially the very poor way you did.

> Listen 80
> Listen [::0]:8080
Why ? Do you know why you did that? Or is it by chance?

><Directory />
> AllowOverride none
> Require all granted
> </Directory>
The whole earth will have access to your files.

Put the file in its original condition and follow carefully: The need for Virtual Host

It still gives me "Problem loading page" For my external ip. I even did as I was told and I didn't even touch the config file. Localhost still works though. How do I host my website?

Config file:

# This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file. It contains the

It is not possible to access with the WAN IP address of the PC to the local server hosted on the same PC. This is called "local loopback" and can only be done with the installation of special drivers.

I meant every tutorial I go on its instant: They can view their website by typing their ip. But I can't, so i gave the ip to my friends and they have the same issue. This is vanilla WAMP, Unedited edition.


- NVM FOUND THE ISSUE! I set my virtual hosts to require local not require all granted so yup, fixed. ThANKS OTTO!

Can i have a link to these drivers? ALSO! How do I get my ip to display a domain instead of just my ip. Thanks again.

Hi,

> Can i have a link to these drivers?
I know it exists, but I've never tried.
And... you have absolutely no need to complicate the access to your server.


>ALSO! How do I get my ip to display a domain instead of just my ip
You need a DNS server or to use noIp or other such thing.

I want to clarify that Wampserver is a development server, not a production server and that the best way is to host your sites to a hoster, not at home.
