My site works on local computer and local network.
I cant get it online (external)after installing it.
OR server can be "online" until I include virtual hosts
in httpd.conf. Any settings in httpd-vhosts.conf will block the server so that it doesnt work locally. No matter if I put the server to online or offline.
Localhost will not work if virtual hosts is included in httpd.conf.

I cannot open my pages over my external ip or dyndns.

No other program use the port 80.
The dyndns updater tool works.
Firewall and DSL router is not involved at this point I think.

Make sure that you got localhost as a ServerAlias before setting the ServerName to your "real" domain.

You will not be able to directly access your server from inside your network using it's real domain name. This is because your request would be making an out-going connection which would then need to come right back in. You can't have both an out-going connection and an incoming connection at the same time, so the only way to do this is to use a proxy out on the Web to "turn your request back around." Otherwise, you'll still need to use "localhost" on the server machine itself, and you'll need to use the LAN IP address or a 'fake' domain in the 'hosts' file of other workstations on your LAN.
