Sign up Page [Public]

[Strupantwn]

I just read this
http://www.mmowned.com/forums/emulat...how-setup.html
and got it to work with localhost in the URL

question is . . .

how do you make it public so others can access?

[TheSpidey]

Open port 80
Now people should be able to see the site using your external IP.
You can then buy a domain, or get a free one from noip or dyndns.

[Strupantwn]

In my config

heres what I have

<?php

$config['mysql_host'] = 'localhost'; //MySQL Host
$config['mysql_user'] = 'root'; //MySQL Username
$config['mysql_pass'] = '***'; //MySQL Password
$config['mysql_dbname'] = 'ascent'; //Database Name

?>


in his tut, it didn't say anything about putting in my external IP or my dyndns

[TheSpidey]

I never asked for your config, in fact it's irrelevant to the publicity of the site.
Did you open port 80? Try to ask a friend to browse to your external ip

[Strupantwn]

Yes my port is open, and my external ip is the ip found in ipchicken right?

I just showed you my configs to show you that if it's correct or something.

also,
in his tut, it didn't say anything about putting in my external IP or my dyndns

and I tried using
http://68.126.184.20/
found in ipchicken and did not found page
neither did my dyndns worked.

[TheSpidey]

Are you sure apache is on?
Also, Edimax routers (And others as well, i'm guessing) need port 80 to be forwarded using the "Virtual Server" option

[Strupantwn]

""Virtual Server""
Whats that and I forwarded in my router
also yes my apache is up or else even going to localhost won't work

yep just double checked port 80 is there

TCP 80
68.126.184.20


UDP 80
68.126.184.20


hey, I think its because I didn't put my external IP or DYNDNS anywhere in the configs

[Strupantwn]

Anyone?

Erm. Just Do What I Do.

1. Register At No-IP No-IP - Dynamic DNS, Static DNS for Your Dynamic IP
2. Create A New Redirect
3. Download The No-IP DUC Download a Free Dynamic DNS Update client for your dynamic IP
4. Install The No-IP DUC
5. Configure It To Your Liking
6. Pat Yourself On The Back

^_^ Hope This Helps

yeah made a DYNDNS from No-IP DUC thing and went to the DYN is made

strupantwn.hopto.org

also said this

[Wed 00:02]  Updating host: strupantwn.hopto.org
[Wed 00:02]   strupantwn.hopto.org: DNS is current, no update needed.

Still don't work, I think it's something to do with the configs!!! read what I said

guys, I didn't put in my external IP or dyndns in the configs is that the problem?

I'm 90% Sure That Would Cause A Problem.

You would only need to put an IP in that config IF you were connecting to another computer. If SQL is on the same server as Apache, all you need is localhost.

[Strupantwn]

Wtf? Thats werid . . . no account sign up page has EVER worked for me so far, anyone

got any other ones I can use that is simple and easy to use?

[Stabatha]

Also you could try 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost

2D made a nice one. Just search threads started by his name. We use it for our 19 Twink server if you want to see a working demo.. http://www.blizzardhq.com/strife/

[Strupantwn]

hey Blizzard, thanks I tried 2d's one but I don't get how to use it, mind typing in a quick

guide for it for me? +Rep!

Hey is it maybe my Apache is not functioning wrong? Thats why it causes those things?
