: Xampp not working with DynDNS My setup consists of: a XAMPP 1.7.7 installation, with Apache configured to listen to port 8080 dyn.com to make the projects accessible from the web ( 8080
My setup consists of:
a XAMPP 1.7.7 installation, with Apache configured to listen to port 8080
dyn.com to make the projects accessible from the web ( 8080 shows up as 'open' when checking with www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports )
various PHP/Ajax/etc projects stored in folders inside xampp/htdocs. Ex: xampp/htdocs/crypt
the xampp folder, phpMyAdmin and MySQL are password-protected
When trying to access any of the projects using dyn.dns URLs ( mydomain.dyndns-ip.com/crypt ), I get a web page with something like
Object Not Found
The requested URL '/crypt' was not found on the RomPager server.
Adding the port number ( mydomain.dyndns-ip.com:8080/crypt ) will result in "The connection has timed out" pages.
However, all the projects work when loaded with a localhost URL ( localhost:8080/crypt/ ).
Other issues:
accessing the root dyn.com URL asks me to log in to my router
when clicking the "Admin" button for Apache on the XAMPP control panel, it opens localhost/xampp/ - instead of localhost:8080/xampp/
I think this might have something to do with password-protecting the xampp folder,
but there doesn't seem to any automatic way of "undo"-ing the security changes,
and I don't know how to do that manually. Any pointers in troubleshooting this issue would be appreciated.

Often, port 8080 is the remote management port for your router. If you're getting a router login page when you go to your Dyn hostname, I'd suggest changing either the remote management port or the port your webserver runs on.
Also, AFAIK Dyn doesn't do port forwarding so accessing mydomain.dyndns-ip.com/crypt will use port 80.
Why not host your webserver on 80?
