Hosting website

[Anise_Verona]

Hello,
this is my first time hosting my own website and I am facing one problem right now.

I am using:
- WAMPServer2.0
- No-IP for my domain. (abcd.zapto.org)
- I have forwarded port 80 of my router.

I have changed the servername in my apache httpd.conf :

#ServerName localhost:80

ServerName abcd.zapto.org:80

So here is the problem:

When I type "abcd.zapto.org" in my web browser, it would direct me to my router configuration page. Not only my PC, but others who are using the same router as me could not access to my actual page in abcd.zapto.org.
However, people from outside my network who are using different router than me, could get to correct page.
Why I could not access the page by typing "abcd.zapto.org " ?
Or did I miss out something?

Regards,

Anise

I would use a separate port. For me, I'm using VerizonFiOS and to allow access to my dev server, I've set a forwarded port from 8080 to port 80 on my dev box. Now Apache sees my box as being on port 80; however, all requests to my dynDNS acount go through *.dyndns.org:8080.

It's a little "fubbed" but it works. I don't really think you can get past the router login screen without it. It's just the way some routers are set up.

Also note that this could very-well be a breach of contract for you and your ISP. Most don't allow individual servers to be served through their residential accounts; you typically need a business account for that.
