Apache Webserver problem

Hi guys + gals,
I formatted my PC the other day, to wipe it of viruses and to make it so programs didn't hate me (namely mySQL and Apache - neither would 'work' before).

mySQL is being brilliant , works perfectly now. Apache actually runs without an error now, but I've come across another problem.
I have a page in the htdocs folder, and an image in htdocs/images .
When II visit http://127.0.0.1 (or http://localhost ) , I see the site, I see the image. Excellent! I can view my own site on my own PC! (Hmm.. :/)
Also, when I type in my Network-assigned IP - 192.168.0.2 , the site loads.

When I type in my "real" IP, I don't see the site. Using firefox, I get the "The document contains no data" message. When I use ikky IE, I get 404 - This page cannot be displayed.
I haven't played around with the conf file at all.

Here are the acces and error log's when I connect from http://localhost , then http://192.168.0.2 , and then my real ip.

== Access Log ==
127.0.0.1 - - [19/Dec/2004:15:11:12 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 304 -
127.0.0.1 - - [19/Dec/2004:15:11:12 +0000] "GET /smiley.bmp HTTP/1.1" 304 -

Any ideas? I'm stumped!

Thanks all,

Do you have the apache computer configured in a DMZ (ie, all traffic is forwarded to it)?  If not, your 'real' IP would be hitting your router/firewall and then going nowhere.  Look at the logs on the router/firewall.

Thanks for the reply Bonio.

I tinkered around with Apache a bit, and I can now see my site on the following:
http://localhost
http://127.0.0.1
http://80.3.0.42 (IP)
http://totaljunk.servebeer.com (no-ip assigned address)

However, read that statement literally. I can now see my site on the following. Everybody else gets the url could not be found on the server.

Apache is responding, therefore it should work. index.htm is set to be the 'default' page, along with index.html (both are in htdocs, just in case). Also, whenever someone types in a specific url - for example, http://totaljunk.servebeer.com/index_files/image003.gif , the URL cannot be found.

Any ideas? Thanks ;)

DNS is working fine by the looks of it.  I'm not too familiar with apache settings (it works out of the box on a DMZ server for me) but it does sound like a hostname settings somewhere.  Maybe a host header setting.

 

Have a look here :

 

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/bind.html

 

and here :

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/
