    How to view apache webserver from external IP

    Hi,

    I practice Joomla and wordpress with the apache server running on my localhost. When I type localhost on my browser I can see everything is ok. But when I give my ip to other people they can't see a thing and says server not found. How do I solve this?

    Are you behind a network router? If you are you'll have to make sure port 80 of your public IP forwards to the ip address of the machine where your Apache web server is on. Also, test with your pc's firewall off.
