I noticed that last night... I'll get working on new things to implement and such.
I hope Konidias responds...
Ah... my version isn't using the webserver object, so I'm not sure it would be much help to teach you. I don't have any experience with the webserver version.
Oh... That's OK! I will keep adding stuff and trying to make a good webserver thingy...
There is something I've been having a problem with though...
The port forwarding thing, so that people can access the server from anywhere via an IP address.
Whenever I activate the server, I use the IP address 127.0.0.1, which is another name for localhost... I tried port forwarding to 168.2.1.123, but whenever I activate the server and go to that IP address, it can't connect.
Please help!
There could be a few factors preventing you from accessing the computer.
1) Have you checked the firewall settings for port 80 on the "server" computer? Windows Firewall (with advanced settings will be what you need, unless you use a third party firewall)
2) Are you behind a router? Mainly for setting up port forwarding for your internet users, you probably need to access your router's web page (varies depending on your router, it might be something like http://192.168.0.1) which will allow port 80 to redirect traffic through port 80 to local IP of your "server" computer.
Alternately, your ISP may block HTTP/port 80 from outside IPs to your Internet IP. If this applies to you, you'll need to host your web server on another port, to access the website in the web browser, type the IP followed by a colon and then the new port number.
1 and 2 are now good to go! However, it still won't work...
Hmm... To grt a better understanding why.... Please answer me these questions:Originally Posted by XStar
1) Try connecting via a few different devices in your home, can you connect via the local IP (the one you see in "ipconfig" on the command prompt) and tell us what it does/say.
2) Same as 1, but hosted on an a different port besides 80 (try port 25566, that should be free) and connect to the local IP with :25566 at the end of the web address.
3) Try with your internet IP (http://whatismyip.com) on port 80, you said it's set up, so it should redirect traffic to the relevant computer. If your router supports it, try viewing the logs.
4) Same again as 3 but on a different port.
With different ports and attempts to access the server from a few devices, it'll narrow down the problem if it's something you can fix (or was misconfigured) or if it's not under your control (eg. Your ISP blocking HTTP)
The second 1, literally, by going to: http://192.168.2.104/
I'm leaving the server up for a while. Someone try that address and see if you can connect from your computer.
Logan,
Nobody would be able to connect to that IP and connect, it's a local IP. You need to specify your external IP, this is where people connect. If I was you I would be wary about posting that publicly as it could prove fatal.
Your local IP (104) is the machine that is the "server" correct? If so and say for arguements sake that the port is 22055, then you need to setup port forwarding on your router for anything connecting to port 22055 be forwarded to 192.168.2.104, this way when people connect to yourip:22055 it then forwards that port to your local machine.
Well, I just did that, and I'm sorry to say, it didn't work...
