Hosting – Windows

Install Wamp

Config Wamp

Change port 80 to 8080

• Open the httpd.conf, find “Listen” and change like this

  [html]Listen 0.0.0.0:8080
  Listen [::0]:8080[/html]

  Find “ServerName” and change “ServerName localhost:80″ to

  [html]ServerName 192.168.1.27:8080[/html]

  Find “Require local” and replace with “Require all granted”

Config Router

• Add two separate entries: one for TCP and one for UDP packets. Something like this will do the work:

  [html]
  Private IP Private Port Type Public IP/mask Public Port
  192.168.1.27 8080 TCP 0.0.0.0/0 8080
  192.168.1.27 8080 UDP 0.0.0.0/0 8080
  [/html]
