Apache Configuration

I have installed Apache 2.2.9 attempting to create a web site for a
large customer to view their accounts. When I run Apache's test the
system works perfectly. From another computer when I type in the
domain name or IP address it returns nothing. I have printed out a
small forest of paper from the Internet trying to resolve the
confirguration problem. Any thoughts? Or perhaps a recomendation of
a good experienced person I could pay to advise me to reduce the
learning curve? Thanks.

Hi Davide - I purchased a static IP Address and domain name. I have
entered the IP address into the httpd file after the word listen and
then port 80. Should I also enter the domain name into the http
file? I turned off the firewall and still it just won't connect.
Finally what is port 127.0.0.1 ? I brought home a couple of pounds of
paper printed out from the Internet to try and find the solution. If
anyone else reads this please pass along yor thoughts. Thanks.

Just to be sure... The first steps are (roughly):

1. Set a DNS record for the domain that points to your public IP.

Check: command "nslookup example.com" should return your IP

2. Configure the IP in your server (if it has direct access to the
Internet) or your router (it your server is inside a private subnet)

3. If you attached the IP to the router, you need to set a NAT rule in the
router so requests to that IP are redirected to the server.

4. Your server's firewall should allow incoming requests to port 80


In which point are you?
