Hi I have created a database and form to display the data in the database in the form all works well when using localhost but not when I use my ip address over the internet i get the error maessage page cannot be displayed and cannot find server as the title bar. Do I have to change something in the config.inc.php or something to allow access from over the web to?

Any help and ideas are greatly appreciated, thanks in advance ppl.

6. I try to access to WAMP5 pages from outside of my local network and I am automatically redirected to 12.7.0.0.1.

This is caused by one of apache's directive: UseCanonicalName. Open your httpd.conf and replace this line

UseCanonicalName On

by

UseCanonicalName Off

Restart your apache service and everything should work.

There are two things you can try. edit the Listen setting in your httpd.conf file.

Listen 80

Add your ip address to that line like this:

123.456.789.012:80

save the file, restart apache and see if it works.

you can also try this:

edit your httpd.conf file, find

#NameVirtualHost

change this too:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin root@localhost
DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www
ServerName localhost
ErrorLog C:/wamp/apache/logs/error.log
CustomLog C:/wamp/apache/logs/access.log common
<Directory "C:/wamp/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

save the file, restart apache and see if it works.
