Does it work over the internet, what do i do kust leave it running at a main computer and connect accross the net? Your help is appricaited

there should be a .htacces which will only allow localhost at default.. also when behind a router make sure to forward the ports..

ok pixelsoul thx ill try that and yea i need to conect from like school when im running it a home i got a router so what should i do? i mean whats port forwarding?

 

Thx in advance!

also i just tryed connecting to my server by using "http://192.168.1.101/.htaccess" but its said something about access forbidden, so then i tryed "http://localhost/.htaccess" but still the same deal. Assistance is needed.

ok pixel "i love u" i fugured it out. Arn't u glad well most of it anyway the only thing is i do not no how to accsess my actuall admin account with the .htaccess file in it. so if u could help me the rest of the way thats great. im gonna comtinue tinkering around with it. oh and yea i wanna keep the admin password protected so i dont think deleting this file is the answer.

In the admin its the same:

 

\diskw\home\admin\www

 

Open .htacces.. allow from all hosts instead of 127.0.0.1.. Then make sure you uncoment the password settings and change them...

 

To forward your port go in the admin of the router and set port 80 to your internal ip adress...

 

Also you might want to consider installing the service as a server.. so it will be on when you reboot

Ok, pixel well im gonna fool around with it, but im at school now so i only have a little bit. ill try and figure out what your saying. Thx

yea i didnt get anywhere really, but i followed ur instuctions, well i think so. this is in my "/diskw/home/admin/www/.htaccess"

 

# This file provides security to the server limiting access to the localhost only.

# Comment to deactivate.

 

# Order Deny,Allow

# Deny from all

# Allow from all hosts

 

# To disallow execution of cgi scripts in this directory comment next two lines.

 

AddHandler cgi-script .bat .exe .pl .cgi

Options +ExecCGI

 

# To unlock Admin Panel, comment the next 4 lines.

# Defaults: Username - admin; Password - userver

 

AuthName "Uniform Server - Admin Panel 1.0 Alpha"

AuthType Basic

AuthUserFile /htpasswd/home/admin/www/.htpasswd

Require valid-user

 

Is that all go to go?and if so i still dont know the password that it needs to login, ive tried "admin:userver" cause thats what it says is default, so yea.

 

i really appriciate all the help soul

bi golly gee... well i know the password cause i remembered it from the other .htaccess or password files so thats done no im gonna check if i can connect form another comp in my house and if that works i forwarded my port so im gonna try from my friends house of school .

yea im kinda stuck at the part where i access the server from like school or other houses, ect. if you know wut i mean. but im gonna keep chuggin away at this, im restarting my comps cause i reinstalled xp today on the server pc.

sutuation update: 10:30 pm school tomorow, going to bed, didnt get acces to server form another comp in my house, dont think it will work from outside of lan either. ty soul, almost made it.

yea... nope cant connect sorry to let u down pixel

i gusse im doing something wrong, somthing wrong with the htaccess coding?

Ok.. the main .htaccess file should have this in it:

 

# This file provides security to the server limiting access to the localhost only.
# Comment to deactivate.

# Order Deny,Allow
# Deny from all
# Allow from all hosts

# To disallow execution of cgi scripts in this directory comment next two lines.

AddHandler cgi-script .bat .exe .pl .cgi
Options +ExecCGI

# To unlock Admin Panel, comment the next 4 lines.
# Defaults: Username - admin; Password - userver

#AuthName "Uniform Server - Admin Panel 1.0 Alpha"
#AuthType Basic
#AuthUserFile /htpasswd/home/admin/www/.htpasswd
#Require valid-user

 

About the Admin part, it is best you leave it the way it is. Opening it opens your server's admin interface to the public and with that, it can be hacked.
