[users@httpd] Newbee Manual for Apache on Windows XP
I am running a Widows XP pro system and trying to set up a webserver.
I have downloaded these files
apache_2.2.2-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi
apache_2.2.2-win32-x86-symbols.zip
httpd-2.2.2-win32-src.zip
httpd-2.2.2-win32-src.zip.asc.txt
httpd-2.2.2-win32-src.zip.md5.txt
The installing of the msi file was successful and I can access the
server via
C:/.../htdocs where i find the index.html location.
Where do I put the unzipped files from the downloads I list above.
What are they doing?
How can I move my default http-directory to D:?
Where do I find a manual for rockies that is written for XP-users (I
find most of the helpmanuals to go to deep into what to me seems to be
UNIX-stuff. Makes no sense for me...)
So - can anyone help a newbee to run Apache on XP?
Thanks
/Nils

Re: [users@httpd] Next Newbee Question - Can�t access host from outside firewall...
Posted by "M.Makar Azer" <m2...@yahoo.com>.
I assume 81.227.242.105 is your public ip address
your ISP might be blocking port 80 so you need to open your httpd.conf and change the following some other ports beside 80 maybe 8080 or something else:
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
#Listen 80
Listen 8080
Then while you are in httpd.conf also if you don't have a registerd domain name change the following:
# If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.
#
#ServerName www.example.com:80
ServerName YOUR EXTERNAL IP:NewPortNumber
ServerName 81.227.242.105:8080
now save httpd.conf and restart your httpd and give it a try
oh and on your router make sure that port 8080 or whatever you choose is open and if forwarding requests to your internal IP address where you apache is installed which i assume 192.168.1.33
also, depending on you what linux u r using make sure that the firewall is alloing http requests to go through
now to access your server from the outside you type
http://YourExternalIP:NewPort#
http://81.227.242.105:8080
Good luck

# ServerName localhost:80
# ServerName 192.168.1.1:80
Is there any other settings I should consider like Virtual host? Please
give me a hit how I should do.
Thanks

Use the *.msi for the installtion. Dont worry about all the other zip
files. They will just waste your time, but it would be interesting to
learn what they are about.

Telling you how the code was written and compiled for crash debugging. You
probably won't need them, I'm wondering why you ignored README in the
windows download location (http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/)
> How can I move my default http-directory to D:?
Switch the <Directory "c:/.../htdocs"> and DocumentRoot c:/.../htdocs
(whereever ... is) to somewhere over on d:/ by editing your conf/httpd.conf
file.

Sure it does, if you just remember that d:/files/web/ for example is just
the same as d:\files\web - but that Apache wants configurations to use forward
slashes (backslashes mean something special) and you put drive letters in.
Special windows-specific differences are all covered here and here...

Something big changed in 2.2 - most of the configuration sections are optional,
included in conf/httpd.conf from the conf/extras/ collection of feature configs.
Check them out.
Sounds like you are making progress! See any of the beginners guides, getting
started with Apache, there are several good books out there too. Don't just
say you can't understand the unix examples, or you leave yourself without alot
of good ideas. If you drop into the Dublin ApacheCon late June, I'm presenting
getting started with Apache 2 on Windows on Friday a.m.
