Is there anyone familiar with using AppServ?  Would really like some help with setting it up to run a Web Server that be viewed over the internet.  Tried following a tutorial on the AppServ forums to set up a virtual host, but I couldn't get it to work.....I would really appreciate any help.

QUOTE (from httpd.conf)

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.2:80>     ServerAdmin [email protected]     DocumentRoot c:/appserv/junk     ServerName 192.168.1.2     ErrorLog c:/appserv/192.168.1.2.error.log     CustomLog c:/appserv/192.168.1.2.access.log common </VirtualHost>

Apache was developed for the *nixes so remember the directory slashes go this way /, not the windows way \.
This makes the c:\appserv\junk folder the root of the websight bound to 192.168.1.2 . So any port 80 traffic directed to the 192.168.1.2 address will see that websight. If in this senerio we were using a soho router, then seting the router to forward it's port 80 traffic to the 192.168.1.2 would make it accessable from the external IP the router has.
Rember a stop and restart of the apache service is need after a change is made to the httpd.conf for it to take effect.

ServerName titanxtrm.dyndns.org     DocumentRoot c:/appserv/www

So if I get the virualhost set up....is there any other changes that I would need to make in the httpd.conf?  Or should that be enough to make it accessable from the internet?

Is there a router between you and the internet or are you directly connected to the modem?
Also setting a log file is highly recomended. That way you can check your sight's activity.

Hmm.....so I should probably try using a different port...something like 81 or 82?
