Worldgroup Web Page Help

Post by SouthernCross »

Ok This is what I am trying,
I run the telnet on the server without a problem.
However, when I run the webpage it times out on everyone. Is there a different port I should open on my router to let people log into the webpage. I know that Dialsoft Whois Online runs alongside the webpage. I installed DIAWHO and it is having the same problem with people not able to see it, but I can see it offline just fine.

Is there a seperate port setting for the web site to be viewed from the outside?

Thanks
Southern/Dave

Yes. You have to open port 80 to allow HTTP access.

My ISP Blocks 80.
Is there a way that the port can be changed like we do with xamp.
Instead of using default 80, change the port to 900 (for example).

Yes, I just checked on mine and you can change that to whatever value you want. Need to change it in LEVEL 4 configuration under Web Server and then in your router. Should work though. I have seen people use 8080.

yeah just change it to whatever but be wary of it saying it allows 1-65535 the port values are an int with a max value of 32767.
