PureBasic Forums - English

Hey
I'm tryin get a webserver running using the Atomic Web Server from PB. But my problem is, that I have no idea how to release it for the internet, meaning having it worldwide. Has anyone done that successfully? The problem is probably opening port 80, but when I tell my router to "free" that port, still no one can connect to that server.

I hope somebody can help.
thanks

If you can see this , its working on my server ....

Its german, sorry, but there you can see it works and where you can make your choice. (Fritz!Box 7360)

You can use the openport tool to see if the problem is purebasic webserver or anything else

Remember your software firewalls; both antivirus, internal windows can also be the problem...

Soooo thanks for the quick replies. I just opened port 80.
At the moment for some reason I can't even start Atomic Web Server because the port is probably already used by some other software. Skype is turned off, any other idea what program could use port 80?

Any kind of http-server , xampp installed or apache or, or, or ?

Had apache, turned it off but somehow it was still running in the background. After I killed it, everything worked fine

That's cause Apache runs as a service, you probably only had the GUI tool turned off at first.
