After thinking it all over and all the problems with attempting what I was trying, all for the sake of wanting to see how it acted live before getting paid hosting and only having a maximum of 20 connections and then having to get hosting anyway... I've bitten the bullet and gotten a paid hosting website. I will host through wamp a development version of my site, running off of localhost... I'

I'd like you to look at it through teamviewer if you can but I believe I've found the problem, I don't know how to solve it or what modules need to be enabled in apache to fix it, but I think I've gotten it narrowed down. First I'd like to thank you for all your great expertise, advice and help and the time it took you to reply, it is greatly appreciated. This, is what I believe is the pr

did you add the name of the folder you created to your C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file ? ex: you create a folder named "folder" in ( C:/wamp/www/folder ) now you open your C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts , you need to open this in notepad using administration rights and it might be a hidden system file as well and not show until you click the show hidden fil

Yes, externally using a pc in another location...when you type in the browser...www.examples.com the only way I can get it to work externally is if I .... in the win hosts file do this : # localhost name resolution is handle within DNS itself. # 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.0.101 examples.com # ::1 localhost change my httpd.conf to : #Liste

If everything works, what's the question ? that and before asking anything provide : windows version youre running on ( ie... XP, win 7, win 8, ect...) Or are you saying wamp is working fine and now you want to know what to do ?, because that's a really easy answer.... there's this thing called "www.google.com"... you enter it into your browser exactly as described without the

okay, got those figured out and they work when you put in "localhost" or "examples.com" in the browser when wamp is "online" and I type in www.examples.com I got the following : This page can’t be displayed Make sure the web address []( googled whats my IP address:8080) is correct It's like something isn't matching the IP address as relating to my home

Okay, this morning after being fed up of it not working correctly I uninstalled wamp, went through the registry deleting and references to it that weren't required, deleted the c:/wamp folder that stays there after an uninstall ( after saving what I needed from it elsewhere )... put my win hosts file back to normal and started completely over. ... so now wamp2.5 is re installed fresh... gav

I seem to be up and running with one problem... I have one domain name and want one site but this one site will have forums, galleries, bulletin board so I have my folder examples ( C:/wamp/www/examples ) Ive created subfolders in it, eg: C:/wamp/www/examples/forum C:/wamp/www/examples/galleries C:/wamp/www/examples/board these aren't different different domainnames, just subfolder

In addition to the above problem, I'd really like to understand the , for lack of the proper term, "routing" the data takes exactly or a link to something I can read to better understand what's taking place overall.

I must be retarded because now I'm totally lost again.... The only way I can get it to work seems to be if I have the router assigned IP address for the homeserver entered into the httpd-vhosts file. excerpt : #Externally accessible site #Externally accessible site <VirtualHost 192.168.0.101:80> DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/examples" ServerName examples.com ServerAli

Do you mean "<VirtualHost *:80>" should be changed to : " <VirtualHost 192.168.0.101:80> " for the externally accessible site in my httpd-vhosts file ?
Forum: WampServer English

I've done as you suggested and discovered that it does work from the internet (www) if I do as you suggest and make the external accessible virtual host the first one in the httpd-vhosts file. I don't fully understand or grasp the concept of using the correct domain name instead of an IP, or where this is supposed to go. my win hosts file is simply to make my machine that it resides on be i

Thank you, you've been very helpful and I've made a lot of headway at wrapping my head around all this, it's still very new to me and trying to understand the different interpretations of what one thing means to another in the different files is a little confusing still. I've done what you described above with one exception , I've changed the internally accessible development version of exampl

I'm new to all this and after reading and trying different setups for over a week now, I'm totally lost and need help.
