Speedtouch 456 v6 and easyphp

[JOSH_IOU]

Hi Folks.

A rather unusual post for CAG


I have a technical issue with my router.

I am trying to get the apache installation with the programme easyphp to be seen by public viewers.

I can view it using 127.0.0.1 but not through my Ip address.

I have tried configureing Dynamic IP adress's and adding port 80 to the firewall. I even Tried turning off my firewall. This dose not work.

Any ideas?

Port forwarding.

Does the router have an inbuilt firewall that is inadvertantly switched on? I have the same kind of problem with a NAS drive. My internal network sees it, but anybody else can...

(port forwarding doesn't help me, but it might help the OP.. thanks MrShed)

Almost certainly without a doubt port forwarding. But couple of quick questions:
- Can you access it from another PC on your network(if you have one)?
- Do you have a static IP address, range of statics, dynamic, or DDNS?

[JOSH_IOU]

The router has an inbuilt firewall with options to disable it or to enable the settings.

This is strange because I have the option to select the webserver setting which enable the port 80's on the router. This is preconfigured in a dropdown box in the firewall settings.

A logical deduction from that would be the setting enables this function so other could access easphp from the web. I.e incoming port 80.

Hi Mrshed sorry I overlapped with your quick response.

I amnot sure I am with a company called xln. Cheap UK Small Business Broadband & Phone Packages At XLN Telecom

wanna check it out?

[MrShed]

Have you set that setting to the private IP address of the webserver?

Regarding the static ETC, how are you trying to view the webserver externally in IE/Firefox? What web address are you going to?

I will have a look when I get back home.

From the top of my head.

I am trying to view my webserver from the networks external IP address. Ie the one XLN assigns me. And I am using Firefox to view the standard port 80. I even tried viewing port 8080 and 80 with the colon sign before it in firefox.

I have also added both of these to the Router.

I have even made sure that the settings in my apache are configured to port 80 which they are.

any thoughts?

Have you tried your internal ip address eg 192.168.0.2?

[MrShed]

It was a software firewall issue Grumpy - I helped the OP out away from the forum.
