Apache 2 question

I've installed Apache 2.



http://127.0.0.1/ works.



However, when I try my proper IP address in Safari, nothing happens. What gives? Is it because it's dynamic?



Cheers!

    you will need to check the httpd.conf file, and check that the server is listening on all addresses.



    You are looking for a line starting "Listen "

    It just says:



    Listen 80



    ...I am on dialup, so have my IP address automatically assigned every time I connect...does this matter?

    nope, but you will might have to start / restart apache each time your ip address changes.

    Nope, re-starting Apache does nothing...

    Do you have a firewall on? That might be your problem as well. In addition to that your dial-up might block people from going to port 80 as well. Check out those options next.

    No firewall. And my ISP does allow this, as I've had it working on the same ISP via broadband...

    Try pinging your IP address, just to see if it's valid.



    So let me get this straight. You have apache running on your machine. You type 127.0.0.1, and that works. Then you check what your dialup IP address is, and type that into your browser, but that doesn't work, right?

    Try getting a friend to hit your IP address, sometimes the IP isn't valid from within the same LAN.

    That's right. Friends can't see me, either.
