'Orrible Cabbage Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 (edited) Hey all. I'm trying to run Uniform Server 3.3 on a windows 98 machine behind a linksys router. I have changed the memory allocation thingumy so that it starts fine. My problem is that I can't access the server from outside. I have removed the restrictions from .htaccess and I have forwarded port 80 through to the server. When none of this worked (I just got various 'forbidden' or 'not found' errors) I tried changing the port the server was using by editing httpd.conf. However, when I change it to anything but 80, the whole thing stops working. It won't even redirect to the admin panel when I start the server. If anyone has any suggestions as to how I may be able to fix this, it would be much appreciated. I am completely new to this, and I've only been able to get as far as I have by studying these forums, so it may be that I've missed something blatantly obvious. Thanks.

olajideolaolorun Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Are you behind a firewall? And are you sure you set the port forwarding right to the PC the server is on? Is anything else using the port? Quote Best Regards Olajide Olaolorun The Uniform Server Development Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Orrible Cabbage Posted June 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 No firewall, only the router. I am pretty sure I forwarded the port correctly, I did it the same way I have always done it. As far as I know, nothing else is using any of the ports I tried. The only thing I can think of is that the ISP is blocking port 80, which is why I tried to change ports. Only, when I tried that the whole thing broke. Is there a specific set of things I must do to change the port to something other than 80? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olajideolaolorun Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Just change Listen 80 to Listen 81 in the httpd.conf file. The new address will then be http://localhost:81, which you have to type in the Address bar as it might not work when the redirect.html file redirects.

Mav56 Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 I was having the same problem and this fixed it, but I was wondering if there was a way to fix it so I didnt have to type http://localhost:81 and could leave out the :81? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olajideolaolorun Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 If you are running on localhosot, then Port 80 should still work unless another program is using it like Skype or IIS... Only need to change it when u are using it in production, as in outside access. You ISP can't block port 80 on your PC... for localhost... just outside.
