I am experiencing some issues with the latest Apache 2.4 for windows x64.
My system is as follows:
Apache 2.4 x64 (latest for Win 7);
PHP latest x 64;
MySQL latest x64;
phpMyAdmin (latest);
+ WWW.
Everything is working from inside address like 127.0.0.1; 192.168.-; localhost.
The web and services are not accessible from outside (internet) though.
There must be some issue with the Apache itself or the settings with apache.
I have tried different server with different system (nginx), and it has shown to be reachable from internet (outside). My gues is that this is not firewall or router issue.
Any thoughts?

| I'd first check if you can get to it from another computer inside the lan. If you can, then strange you cannot from the outside if you got nginx to show through the router. If you cannot, then it's probably the Windows Firewall being a pain. |

Solved! You were correct. The Windows Firewall was the problem.
Here is a little tip for others: I found that, if you are starting Apache (httpd.exe) the very first time, do it from command line with administrator rights (I am on Win 7). This way, windows firewall pop-up shows a message that Apache is trying to make lan + internet connections. The lan on the pop-up is naturally checked (no risk). But, the internet (outside world) is unchecked. When I saw this, everything was clear - here is the problem. The check mark corrected the issue.
