:: Apache Configuration Problem ::

[Navin Dhanuka <na...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

My machine is on a network. My Internal IP is 90.0.0.28, whereas the IP of
the server is 90.0.0.1
I want to enable http server in my machine.
My external IP as given by whatismyip.com is "202.87.32.242"

I have changed in apache the following line.
Listen 202.87.32.242:80

When apache is restarted in windows 2k it says Apache stopped unexpectedly.

What is the problem & How should I solve it?
Any info will be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Navin Dhaunka

If I understand what's going on, it's that you have some router
somewhere doing NAT, and the router's external interface is on 207.87.
and its internal interface is on 90.0.  If that's right, then your
problem is that you can't listen on an IP address not assigned to that
machine.  Listen on the actual IP address of the machine Apache's running
on.  Your router will need to do port forwarding from 202.87.32.242:80 to
your server on 90.0.whatever:80.

When things like this happen the first place to look is the error log.

Please understand that these sorts of questions should be asked on a user
support list, not on the developers' mailing list.  Please direct your
questions to apache-server@yahoogroups.com.
