NOTE:Keeping up our PC as a server has few hurdles:
*If our Internet connection has dynamic ip address (i.e. each time modem is restarted…IP address changes),server address changes.
*Due to bandwidth limit,only few people can download files(though accessing of web pages can be done easily).
To overcome the 1st hurdle,use domain name from free dynamic domains(eg. http://dyndns.com,while entering details type external ipaddress as obtained from http://cmyip.com)It will give a domain name (eg. server.homeftp.org).Download and install DynDN Updater(allows to connect ur pc directly to its server)
Download and install Apache web server from http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi(.msi for Windows,.tar.gz..for Linux or Unix).
During installation in Windows:
In Network domain:enter domain name obtained(eg. server.homeftp.org)
In server name:Enter same as above with www(eg. http://www.server.homeftp.org)
Administrative email:any email id
Now,leave all fields recommended and default,install it.
Start apache web server(firewall gives warning…unblock it).
In the browser type http://localhost.If success page comes up,then installation is correct.
Now browse through C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\conf open httpd.conf using notepad, (# shows- lines are commented) find string,DocumentRoot change path to the directory whose files u want to share or keep web pages.(eg. D:\web\ ,default is C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs).Now find a line (# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to)below it change path of Directory to same as that of DocumentRoot.
Now create a file index.html inside the DocumentRoot(eg. D:\web\).And keep all files,folders inside that to share or the web files for the website.
To view the logs go to:C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\logs.
Now to make it work across the world over internet.We have to configure the modem,to do a Virtual Servers Setup.
Now open cmd from run,type ipconfig: it will give internal ip (eg. 192.168.1.2). Type this internal ip in browser.we can see our server running over LAN. Now,note down external ip from http://cmyip.com.To test is it really working,from any other computer(not on that LAN),type external ip u noted or domain name registered, in the browser.
Done!!
Is it??

I must say, that I can not agree with you in 100%, but that’s just my opinion, which could be very wrong.

I know this is off-topic but have you heard about the huge snow blizzard pounding the mid-atlantic part of the country? The washington dc area is getting about 2 feet of snow for the second time this winter. I have relatives in that area and they’re all stuck in their homes.

Hi, i have already installed XAMPP, and http://localhost works.
When i check my IP using cmyip.com, a PC that not on LAN , accessed my IP, it required username and Password.
Then, i created a account named HELLO, pass is 123456, but cant log in!
What’s problem here?
Thanks!
