how to configure home web server? (i m using DSL with DLINK --ADSL Router)?

Question

Dear friends,

i have configured my home web server with XAMPP (apache+php+mysql bundle)

and i 've got the dynamic DNS from www.no-ip.com.

all configuration i 've done is accurate,
also i've opened port 80 for incoming connections in ASDL router configuration.

But there is a problem that when ever i try to open my webpage given by no-ip.com ,
my dsl configuration page opens.

I've searched through the internet to resolve the problem, and i found that it might be due to option Remote Web Administration in Advanced >> Advanced Security tab in configuration page of my dsl router.
So, i checked for this, and i found that the option is off.

But still i m having the same problem that whn ever i try to open my home page, my dsl configuration page appears in the browser.

I m too sick of that.

Please help, if any one knows about it.

Any help will be appreciating.

Answer 1

Can you move the port of the DSL config page? Most of the time you can somwhere in the config. Just put it on 8080. Right now it is listening to 80 the same as the webserver and it is first in line comming in, so it is grabbing the connection.

You probably also need to forward the port 80 (unless the comuter is using the public IP address-and that has huge security implications) to the private address your server is on. This would be in your router somewhere.

You are definatly on the right track. I have had a website up on a dynamic DSL connection for a few years now and it works great. Email me if you are still having a problem.

Answer 2

I think this was what happened. The ADSL config web page responds to port 80 from both (inside and outside) interfaces. Your No-IP client tells its DDNS server your outside IP address. You tried to open a web page with the address that No-IP gave you. That translates to your ADSL IP address, which goes to port 80, and which opens up the config page.

Try one of the following if possible.

- Configure ADSL router so it won't respond to HTTP query from outside. For security reason you want to be able to do this anyway.

- Change the port of your ADSL configuration.

- Change the port of your Web service.
