| hi all.
I have been doing some php/sql projects. I have now got a friend who is
helping out with these. so we decided to host our own webserver on my
machine as a tempory solution.
The problem is simple but anoying. I have apache, php and sql on my
machine running. They have been working together very well sonce
installed (about 12 months ago). but now i have someone to help out via
ftp he uploads and changes scripts, and i do the same. no probs there.
the problem is when he wants to view the complete project. so he need to
conect to my machine via his web browser. well he has my ip address and
types http://<-ip address here -> in his browser. but he gets a page not
found error (404) why is this? he need access to the project. Now the
index.php file is in the htdocs dir so why can't he get to the page on
this server? he has tried http://<-ip->/index.php and still no joy.
any ideas?

| is it a direct internet connection or is it through a router?
have you tried typing your IP address in to see if it works?
if your IP address starts with 192.168 or 10.0 or 127.0 then he won't be
able to access it till you give him the external IP address
