Okay...others viewing my site.

Alright....I am new to this server. I have it all set up(i think). I have my html saved ect.. i can look at my site through the http://127.0.1:80, but its local network only right? I told my firend to try that and, of course, it did not work. But when i try to use the http://<ip> or http://<ip>:<port> thing it goes to my console.

I know people have asked this before so if it's in the forum sry and point it out to me if you will. I dont know how to let others get to my site!

Thanks,
Ryan

Another thing to check for is this

Start/Control Panel/Windows Firewall/Exceptions tab

Make sure UPnP Framework is Checked.

I haven't seen any mention of this in the tutorials.

That would be because you absolutely do not need UPnP to run a webserver. All you need is port 80 (or whatever port you choose to use) forwarded.
