make my php server live?

[AlexGM16]

Hello, I'm running a php sevrer locally on my computer, and from time to time I want to show my friends certain scripts I have created. I am using a router, and I want to know how I can let other people view my php scripts from my server?

I would suggest getting a website with php capabilities. if you want to setup your computer as a webserver, I would visit no-ip.com (http://www.no-ip.com) and read up.

i found the answer for people with routers:)

just open ports 80 and 25

and thats it:)

i don't know about all routers, but I know linksys routers have an admin panel accessed via something like http://192.168.1.1 no user, password is admin. From there look for something called port forwarding, in there you can open a port, and tell the router what computer to send requests to. So like if your pc is 192.168.1.101...have port 80 forward to 192.168.1.101.

Opening up ports is risky business. Make sure your behind a firewall. :)

This site might be of help if you have problems figuring out how to forward ports: http://portforward.com

25 is SMTP, so you shouldn't need to open/forward that. Just 80 for the internet.

if you are on go to Firewall click other and add webserver. Then goto dyndns.com an get a website URL and your done

(I remember when i started bugging people about home webserver :lol:)
