Apache only work on server

[Shel]

Apache server works on my PC. However, although I can ping, telnet, ftp, and ssh from other pc I can't access http from other PCs on the same network (or anywhere else). What could cause that? How can I resolve this issue?

How are you trying to access your server from those other PCs? What are you typing into the browser address bar? Do you have a hardware firewall in the network, or software firewalls on your server or your PCs?

Actually, after I installed Liunux and apache, I was able to access [192.168.1.131...]
and get the apache default page from anywhere on the 192.168.1.0 network

Then I installed sql and I saw the php default page from anywhere on the 192.168.1.0 network.

Now, I'm not sure at what point this happened, but my twiki server is working, but I cant access it or any other apache page from other computers besides the server.

However, i can ping, ssh, and wget [192.168.1.131...]
works, and I get the index.html file

I have a similar problem with my apache server. I can access it locally through my LAN connection by typing either the IP address or the domain name and it works perfectly.

When I go to another computer I cannot see the site in my browser, however I can still ping the ip address or the domain name and the server will reply.

What do I need to do to make my websites visible to the public?

As you can tell I am new to web hosting.

You need the router to be set up to route incoming requests from the internet to the right PC. You need the firewall to be configured to allow such requests too.

Your ISP may not allow such usage. Their systems are designed to serve web pages to you, not for your system to be sending them out to the internet. Setting up a server at home disrupts their traffic patterns.

I have Optimum Boost Business and I requested permission from my ISP to run a web server. That was the purpose of upgrading my internet connection. I know of others as well that run web servers on Optimum Boost.

How do I configure my CISCO 800 Series router to allow requests from the internet?
