Hi,
No one can access my site from the internet. Why?
Should they include the port in the ipnumber?
Thanks, |

The port no should only be included if it is different from the default port number (ie 80).
Also some ISP?s block access on port 80. Try accessing on a different port.
Are you using your external ip address? Check it here http://www.aprelium.com/ip/ _________________ Olly |

What type of internet connection do you use?
Do you use a firewall, if yes what type?
if you are using a dialup connection you are unable to run a server from it. Also you need abyss web server permanently running and connected to the internet through the computer it is running from.
To run a server successfully you should be running a high speed internet connection _________________ Olly |

I haven't done it before but I'm guessing, you would first need to map it as a network drive (for this eg I will use W).
Then access the server console. Go to > Home > Server Configuration. In the box called Documents Path enter the mapped networked drive letter (eg W:\).
Then click ok followed by reset, it should then work :D _________________ Olly |

http://127.0.0.1 is your internal ip address and is the same for all windows computers. no one else may use that unless they use the computer where the server is installed.
to run a sever on the web you need an always on connection, and something fasted than your normall 56K modem...........that has an upload speed of about 5K's a sec. _________________ Olly |

Still fine serving a couple of users with a low graphic site on a modem, it's just not suited for anything big... When I was stuck on dialup I'd use Abyss for anything I wanted to DCC to people on IRC and just stick it on the server meaning they could use a decent download manager instead of getting halfway through, getting disconnected and finding that mirc wouldn't resume... |
