Issue Accessing XAMPP Server from Dynamic IP

[mrgreen33gamer]

Okay so I'm hosting an XAMPP server from my machine, and I was wondering what were the steps to publicize my server to the internet by accessing my dynamic ip address. I've already tried many of the YouTube videos online and accessing my host folder from my System32 Folder. I've tried port-forwarding and modifying the Apache server files and nothing. My :80 port is not blocked at all and neither is :443.

Any solutions?

Must be able to access server locally from your own LAN. Server now working. Next.

ALLOW WAN ACCESS:

Server must have static IP.
Port forward tcp/udp port(s) to static IP.

Access server, from the Internet (can/maybe able to do this via cellular) to your current dynamic WAN IP. This works, BAM, successful "making a hole."

MAKING IT NICE:

Register a domain, hopefully with a provider who also has DDNS service, I use dnsexit but there are others. Download and run the DDNS client, run this on any box on your LAN, say once a day good enough to say mydomain=myDynamicIP. Now people on the outside can get to you via mydomain.


Hope u have decent upload speed otherwise it maybe watching paint dry.

I did that. I port forwarded, I created a Web address and I downloaded the program to help the DNS connect to my router IP address but even if I type my public IP into my browser nothing comes up. but when I enter 192.168.1.xxx my website pops up.

Ya u probably did all but I was trying to get you to be more methodical. Gave u 3 separate steps, verify each one before continue to next, that's how troubleshooting is done, divide a complex task into simpler steps, and verify each.
