Quartier4,

127.0.0.1 is the local IP of your computer (valid only on your computer
only).

To access your machine from another computer on your network (LAN), you
should use the LAN IP of the computer. Run the Windows command ipconfig in a
DOS command box to know this IP (it is usually of the form 192.168.*.* where
* are numbers ranging from 0 to 255). This LAN IP works only inside your
LAN.

To access the server from the outside, people should use your router's WAN
IP (or external IP). It is the IP assigned to it by your ISP. This WAN IP
can be known by browsing http://www.aprelium.com/ip from your computer. If
you have a router, you must configure it to forward incoming requests to the
web port to your computer so that Abyss Web Server can respond to them.

If your WAN IP changes often, You'll need to use the services of a free DNS
provider that can track those IP changes and give you a DNS name. We suggest
looking at http://www.dyndns.org or at
http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Software/Internet/Servers/Address_Management/Dynamic_DNS_Services/?tc=1 .
This way, you'll always access your server using an address like
http://www.yourserver.freednsprovider.com without paying attention to IP
changes.

If you have problems to make your server reachable from the outside, we
recommend reading http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/faq.html#A1-2 .

Notice that if you are using Windows XP, you must correctly configure its
internal Firewall: open the control panel, select the Networking section and
open the properties of your network interface. Select the Advanced Tab and
press the Parameters button (it should be in the bottom of the page). This
button will open a dialog where you can allow incoming connection to some
ports. If Abyss Web Server uses port 80, check the Web Server (HTTP) line.
If it uses another port, press Add... and enter the number of the port Abyss
uses as the internal port (select TCP and fill the other parameters
following the descriptions).

THIS TIP ASSUMES A WINDOWS PC ON A LOCAL NETWORK THAT IS PROTECTED BEHIND A FIREWALL OR ROUTER

If you Abyss Web Server is installed a Windows PC, like mine, all you should have to do is enable sharing on the hosing PC (either the whole drive or just the Abyss folder).

You should be able to then just the PC name of the Windows network to get to your Abyss Server. IE: http://MYPCNAME/ or the actual IP address that PD uses on your netowrk. Windows has good help files for setting up shares and PC Naming.

If you're having address problems I would suggest giving the Abyss Server PC a static IP Address on your network. Then you can use your network LAN address to get to your Abyss Server (IE: 192 168.1.100 - subnet 255.255.255.0)
