Description:
Complete noob to setting up a server. So far I have installed Bitmani WAMP Stack 7.1.16-0 on windows 8. I have allowed this program through my windows firewall and can now get to my Joomla website from my other devices on the same WIFI network. I have set up a static IP for my device which is running my server (windows 8 laptop). I have port forwarded my IP through my router. Maybe I'm doing something wrong in this step? Still can't access it from outside my LAN.
Here is my port forward setting on my router.
Status: On
Protocol: Both
Internal port: 80-81
External port: 79-80
Local IP address: (my server device's static IP address)
I typed what's my IP into google on my server device and it gave a completely different IP address than my device's IP address. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here.
Any tips would be welcome!
