Hello everybody, I just stared setting a home server for my web page. I'm using IIS, Apache and MySQL. The web page is located in the root folder. It sounds like a stupid question but what is the link so people can see my web page? I tried with my puter name and the folder were the web page is but nothing, I have to do some more changes so it works?
Thank you

If you set everything up correctly, you would be able to type localhost:80 and reach the site. You could also type 127.0.0.1 and it would work as well. Keep in mind that you would be typing these in on your webbrowser address bar on the actual server. That being said, your first problem is you can't run IIS and apache on the same port at the same time (ie...port 80 is your http port). Next thing, have you done all of the necessary research on how to connect your webserver to the net and let other people see it? There is a lot that has to be done for that to happen as well.

This is a very good start.

Sounds like you had someone suggest IIS and Apache and decided to run both - you need to choose.

Also need to find out your WAN IP because this is what you give to people to find your server. Remember if you have a router and other PCs you need to forward port 80 to your 'web server'.

There's a lot of other variables that need to be taken into consideration when setting up the server but since we don't know them this should get you started.

Yes Apache is running in 8080 i change it. In php.ini i changed the C:\FoxServ\ for C:\EasyServ\ and created a folder named temp. I moved the php.ini to C: \WINDOWS. After all that I went to http://localhost:8080/ and i got this http://www.cristalab.com/images/tutos/apache_iis/16.jpg
