I got apache server, i was just using abyss server, i stopped using abyss b/c i got tired of it, but apache is confusing  wat do i do with it..?

What do you want to do with it? It's really simple to use once you've got it set up.

that post was fropm liek a month ago, so i gave up on it

http://foxserv.net -- apache package, set up for you with lots of mods.

thanx
I think im gonna try again.

Once you have apache fully set up and you get the test page when you type the localhost thing in your browser where do you go from that? like how do I add my own pages. i gather i put them in the apache directory but there are so many folders within that.
And also how do i go about making the page visible to the public? I tried that no-ip website and signed up. however whenever i type my external ip into the browser or my no-ip address it goes straight to the login screen for my router with username pword etc.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

umm i started foxserv and everything everything is working properly, but i cant get to my site, i tried putting my ip in hte address bar(142.165.147.157.com) and it seems that it is reserved or something, how do i start with my website, i clicked start EasyServ and Go but i still dunno how to get access to my site

Ip addresses dont have domain extensions
it would just be 142.165.147.157
To test it go to 127.0.0.1 (localhost)

oh thanx, lol, its been awhile since i've tried this stuff

but i stil get "page cannot be displayed error"

most people nowadays have routers, so  you will have to consult your router's instruction manual on how to set it up, you must foreward port 80 to your host computer's internal IP address.
