Okay, im stumped.. After SIX hours of trying to debug this, I cannot.

I can run other servers just fine, but apache is giving me a problem, I have no clue why.. So here's the run down.

I want people to connect to my webserver but they keep getting timing out problems (I proved this by going downstairs and trying my room-mates computer and it doesnt connect either).. Yet I can connect just fine, obviously because im the local host and the "owner" of the ip address. So how do I go about debugging this? I really dont want to post my entire file here but maybe i'm missing out on something? is there a loadmodule that I NEED in order for everyone to connect? or is there a addmodule?

Before you ask, yes, I visited several sites - read apache's confusing manual and all of that good stuff. Yes I also installed from scratch and had a friend try to connect but still the same thing.. Here are some things from my httpd file..

Before I post them... Im running Windows Xp Home and yes I know some of the files are pointing to the wrong locations, but I have tried everything.

Quote:

ServerRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2"

#Listen :80
Listen 80

ServerName myip.address. (yes i tried localhost also)

DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2"

<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2">

etc etc etc..


last but not least, my load modules..just incase

In addition to your httpd.conf Listen stmt, I also have - for Virtual Hosting:



Quote:
#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *:80


and in each Virtual Host:

Quote:
<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerName blah.mydomain.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@mydomain.com

DocumentRoot "X:/WebDocs/blah"

DirectoryIndex "index.html"

Options Indexes

IndexOptions FancyIndexing FoldersFirst


</VirtualHost>



Nowhere do I have a real IP or Localhost.

Also make sure your server is listening on port 80 with
CurrPorts
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/cports.html
(or just 'ping' it)

Also, if this just local domain, you must add
your.ip.add.ress blah.mydomain.com
to each of your buddies Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file
Assuming they are on the same LAN.

This last point may be the root of your problem!
