Ok well i'm still very new to apache, mysql, and php.. let me explain everything i have set up..
I have installed Appserv, for those of you who are unfamiliar with it.. it installs mysql, php, and apache all in 1 setup..
Ok.. from here.. I have a folder in my local drive appserv within it.. php, apache, mysql, and www. www holds everything in my index which is what i am directed to when i go to http://localhost
Everything seems to be working fine on my machine.. the problem is when i send people to my ip, ex. "http://12.181.235.120" they come up with request timed out..
I have no firewalls.. I do not have windows firewall..
i'm running windows XP Pro. (SP1)
here is some information that may be helpful.. I'm not sure.. still new like i said.. but if it helps someone then great.
a bit of my apache error log::::
