setting up a home web server

[appus]

you mean, before also people were used to access the page ? if you have mentioned that initially, wouldnt have spent time to lecture about port forwarding/virtual server Normally, if you dont forward the port, other users, including you will get Router Page. (if i try your ip address, i will get router page as well unless you forward correctly)! So, i was in that impression.. anyways.... If others are getting it, why worry? you can try out the site at http ://localhost or http : //127.0.0.1

yes thanks a lot for that!!! initially i thought it was a router problem and was doubting the settings i had put in.... accessing via proxy is this normal behaviour? btw how do i mask the url so that ppl get the website directly on the ip address instead of the xampp prompt.???

make the default page as index.html and give people the http ://yourname.dyndns.org google 'apache default page configure' and you can get plenty of guides
