Help setting up Apache

[DarthRevan]

Guys, I need to host a server in my PC. I installed Apache (well, actually it was WampServer, which is Apache + PHP + MySQL) and put a default.html in the www folder.
When I turn the server on and go to localhost/default.html on my browser it works just fine, but when I try to access it externaly, typing myiphere/default.html (through my cellphone for example, using LTE), it says the page doesn't exist... what can be wrong?

Thanks

Externally as through the internet (you said you're using LTE)? Did you point a URL to the server + folder?

I don't have a URL, so I tried using my ip, I tried accessing it this way: xxx.xxx.xx.xx:80/default.html

And yes, externally means through the internet.

is it right?

Yeah that probably won't work, but we'd need to know more about the setup to say for sure. If you're running the machine at home behind a soho router/access point then port 80 will be closed to outside connections. If you want to test from the net you'll need to forward that port from the router to the machine the web server is on.

This is my router/modem setup, I've forwarded port 80 already, but it still doesn't work: http://s22.postimg.org/dekcj0p0f/port.jpg

You can try putting it on the DMZ for a quick test. Can you ping your IP?

Use a dynamic dns service, or pay $2 a month for web hosting. Or configure your router to to forward all port 80 requests to your local computer.

Do you possibly need to enter a source IP, like 0.0.0.0 (for any), or a mask (255.255.255.255/32)?

Something strange is happening, even though my apache is off, when I try to connect to the IP using the port 80 (which is used by apache), the browser asks me for a usarname and password. I set up a dynamic dns and the same thing happens...

You need to edit the http.conf file and make it listen to your external ip address. If you're using wamp, it is configured to listen to localhost out of the box.

what do I have to change over there? Can I make it listen to the dynamic DNS I created, so I won't have to change it everytime my IP changes?
