Ok, I set up port fowarding, but when I go to my IP address, the router control panel shows up instead of my website! Help please.

The topic title currently right under this sticky one might have been an idea to read...
"When accessing webserver it shows my router configpage..help"

Look at my reply there. That topic didn't really help me, it was vague.

Anonymoose

It wasn't vague, it answered exactly the question you just raised above.
If you see your router configuration page when using your internet IP, your router does not support loopback. You will not be able to access your site via the internet IP. Visitors will.
You haven't even stated what model router you have, so how you can call the other topic vague, I don't know - unless you signed up two different accounts just to ask the same question...

derangedtaco

No, I haven't. Nobody would waste their time doing that.
For a test, could you try going to http://24.23.192.5/? Thanks.

The link works. Congrats.

I can't view mine either. I have a Comtrend CT-301 ADSL modem, Belkin Wireless G Router (2 computers connected), WinXP Home SP2, internal IP: 192.168.2.2, external IP: 142.167.57.80, Windows Firewall. When I go into the router config page there is no port forwarding but virtual server instead. When I go into that I get this

(I am in fact using Windows... the scroll bar comes from an Opera skin). Now if I add "Web Server (HTTP)" (which is in the drop down list), and enter port 80 for inbound port and 80 for private port I get an error saying:

192.168.2.1:
The public port number can not be 80.Because it will have a collision with the Wireless Router web service.

If I change inbound port to 81, it does nothing also. Can anyone help me?

Morprok,
If the Comtrend modem is what is connected to the phone line, then you should configure that device for port forwarding (and not the Belikn which is behing it and part of your local network).

i got the same problem like you. Now no one can see my site. I just wondering if you can share your result with me? How did you set up your server? Please give me all of your knowledge. Thank you!
If any one out there can help that would be appreciated. Your reply is very help full for me. Thanks again.
can you check if my site works? logoleaf.com
i'm using No-ip.com for DNS service.
my ip is 192.168.1.4
I've change port 80 to 21208
I've already forwarded port 80 to 21208
i'm using NETGEAR router
When i try to access to my website, it show error 403 Forbidden.
Can anyone tell me if i messed up something? Thank you very much!

I'm new to the abyss web server program. I was hoping to use it to host some of my files. So far I managed to configure the console to the point where I can see the hosting page, but when it comes to other computers, it just can't be seen. The web server FAQ helped alittle bit, but I was still having problems so I joined this forum. I've read most of the posts on this thread and alot of helpful information have been given to me. However, I still can't get this page to show up on other computers other than my own.
Here's my basic information, hopefully someone with experience can use it:
-Running: Windows XP
-Router: Linksys Wireless G
[Port forward info]

-IP Address: 192.168.1.105
-External IP Address: http://158.83.140.23/
[What it should take you to]

Now here's my console configuration info:

Thanx in advance.
If all doesn't go well, I'll just see if I can turn off the router whenever I'm using Abyss and switch back when I'm using a portable device. I only use the damn thing for PSP Radio anyways, lol.

sorry for the long link hope it works for you, but iam afraid your router wont :( unless iam reading the wrong FAQ's
You need a router that allows IP passthrough, screen shot your routers menus and we'll have a look but I dont think this one is going to work for you......

WarLord

Wow that sucks. Well just in case, what menu should I screenshot?

aprelium

Warlord,
The link provied by Marty_ does not apply to you since your external IP (the IP assigned by your provider) is not private.
We suggest reading http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/WRT54GS/HTTP.htm to learn how to configure port forwarding for Abyss Web Server (or any web server) on your Linksys WRT54GS.
If the external connection problem persists, try changing the port to 8000 (some ISPs block port 80).

WarLord

Thank you, I'll check it out.
Edit: I can't create a static ip unfortunately. When I made one, my internet connection cut off. I'll just use Abyss without a router and see how that goes. Thanks for all the help and support.

hello everyone! im very much a noob to the abyss web server program and ive looked at setting this up but to no avail. heres some info:
OS: win xp home
router: Actiontec® GT701-wg
network: 2 computers, one laptop, one desktop. the router is attched to my desktop and im trying run the server on my laptop. im on my laptop right now as well
internal ip: 192.168.0.3
default gateway ip: 192.168.0.1
external ip: 70.59.77.10
the firewall im using is the default one that windows uses
so far, i havent set up the port forwarding and typing in both my gateway and external ip bring up my router configuriton. heres a screen shot of my routers port forwarding screen:

Follow the directions at http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Actiontec/GT701WG/HTTP.htm

Your router does not support loopback. So using your external IP from inside your network isn't going to work as you expect it. It will either cause an error or you'll get the router setup page.
The external IP access is only valid from people outside your network. Try using a proxy service (see http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Proxying_and_Filtering/Hosted_Proxy_Services/Free/CGI_Proxy/ ) to test the access of your URL (with the external IP).
