These inaccessible folders, are they subdirectories of your htdocs folder?

If they're somewhere else, like c:\folder1\, then you need to add an alias. Aliases enable access to folders outside the htdocs folder.

I'm guessing you have a configuration glitch. You might see about IP address banning.

If you can, stop Abyss. Rename your abyss.conf to abyss.conf.old (just so you have a backup). Then restart Abyss. It will create a new abyss.conf, and see if that fixes your problem.

If this doesn't work, just stop Abyss. Delete newly-created abyss.conf, and rename abyss.conf.old to abyss.conf.

For diagnostic's sake, try to get the error code the server is returning. That will give us a lot more information to work off of. You can see the headers with ieHTTPheaders for Internet Explorer. (Google it)

noman_quraishi,
how are you writing the links to the folders on your d: drive?

is it: d:\folder\file.ext
or: file:\\\d:\folder\file.ext

?

Can you browse to the d: drive by going to http://localhost?
If not then you either need to set up the d: drive as an alias, or set it as the root folder

http://127.0.0.1:9999/hosts/host@0/edit/dirlist
Change the dir listing type to standard listing. This means that if there is no index file(s) (which are listed for you at http://127.0.0.1:9999/hosts/host@0/edit/indexes ), then a directory listing will show.

See if that clears up the problem you're having.

If you're just running Abyss as a file server, you don't need a single HTML file on your site.

It's a little hard to follow you.

If you have other people on your LAN, they can enter http://computername to access the default host on port 80. You can find your computer name (for WinXP) like this: My Computer -> Properties -> Computer name tab
This only works on your LAN, not the WWW.

You could also get a subdomain that points to your site. Go to http://dyndns.com or http://no-ip.com
You could have nomi.no-ip.info or the like.

If you don't find your router exact model in portforward.com, try looking for a model from the same manufacturer. Most of the time, they have the same interface and need the same configuration.

Alternatively, read the manual that comes with your router and look for "virtual servers" or "port forwarding". You can also call its manufacturer support hot line or post a question on their forum.

This is my prob when i dont know what router em behind .. So how would i know its manufacturer & look for the same manufacturer .. Is there any way to know my router or its model or its manufacturer? When i asked my cable guy who provied cable .. He was not even aware of routers & all stuff ...

Some body told me that mostly gatweays act as router .. & when i enter \\172.16.0.100 ( my gateway) its asked me a p.w & user name to enter ORBITSERVER & when i enter it i can access files / softwares ... But when i type http:\\172.16.0.100 to configure this gateway .. It takes me to search page of error page ? ... Well i dunno what to do ?

If there is any model or number+letters on the router case, try to search them on the Internet to see if they correspond to a known router. Otherwise, call you ISP (or the person who sold you the router) to ask about its model.

No .. NO one sold me router .. I even dont know whether em connected to a router or not ? Or if em connected to a router which model & company is it is of ? ...

You know my cable wire is going to a physical hub .. & many of my friends & from that HUB we got cable net connection .. That HUB is going far away to some one` pc ... I think there he put a router by which one IP is subdivided into many priavte IP`s ... & you know these local guys dont have these knowledge about router & public Ip`s... & such things ... They just connect peoples wire into HUb & make settings simple nothing more hehe ... But since i am very curious about making my site internet accessible so i wanna learn & configure these ports ...

noman_quraishi,

If you're in a network where you have no control on its router, you'll need to ask the network admin to do the port forwarding for you.

Of course, this is not always possible. In a school/university or a company, network admins won't allow such a use and will rarely agree to do so. In such a case, there is no solution since your computer and server will not be accessible by remote visitors.

If you're connecting to your ISP with a modem, the porblem will no more occur as it will be a direct connection with no router/firewall between your server and the rest of the Internet.

Noman,

How much money are you willing to spend to host your own website? If it's over $19 US/month, you can get a Windows VPS (Virtual Private Server). (http://www.vpsland.com) You connect to it through Windows Remote Desktop Connection.

Then you have a window on your computer screen that's actually the desktop of the VPS. You can install Abyss on it and start up an FTP server to upload your site.

If you aren't into spending that much, you might put out a request on the forum for someone that runs Abyss X2 to host your site for you.
