Local Host Problems Help Please!

[stewxxx]

Sorry about this, this has probably been posted before here is my dielma:

Some websites i am told port 80 is active others i am told it isnt, when i view the server in the local address (127.0.0.1) i can see the webpage no problem,

however when i type in my ip address i get "this page cannot be displayed"

i have opened up cmd and typed in netstat -an

and have retrieved this:

Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING

how do i get it to say 192.168.1.3 as that is the machine on the network i have activated DMZ, i hope i am going along the right lines on this one, anyway please help me get abyss working!!

Thanks guys

if you are using x2, you need to add your ipaddress to the hosts table.

If you are using the FREE X1, and have a router. Make sure that you have forwarded the appropriate ports to your server, if you have done that, and still have not connected successfully, you may have loopback problems, which you can solve by doing the following:

1) Go to: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
2) Open hosts with notepad, it should look like this:

sorry where do i add the line could you put an "insert line here" for me please

also when i try to save it says

Cannot create the C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file.
Make sure that the path and file name are correct

stewxxx,

Abyss Web Server displays your local access URL (the one with 127.0.0.1) but it will accept any requests that use other IPs of your computer without any problem (even if it does not explicitly display them).

So if your LAN IP is 192.168.1.3, go to another computer of your local network and browse http://192.168.1.3 to see the web site hosted by Abyss Web Server on your first computer.

alextee_2000,

You should report the crash to your game server authors and ask them for support. It is also impossible to point 127.0.0.1 to a domain name. The hosts file is to map domain names to IPs (not IPs to domain names).

You can also remove the line added in the hosts file and continue to access the server locally using your computer LAN IP.
