Hey Tasos, The behaviour of the ip addresses was described quite clearly Anbarasan above. As far as I know, httpd.conf works the same way as well, where 127.0.0.1 is not going to make your server accessible to any other device than localhost. You can read about localhost on wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost>.
Another clarification to make to your earlier thread is that 192.168.X.X is not an external IP <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network#Private_IPv4_address_spaces>, but is a local area network IP. It seems you are using computers inside your network if you can reach the server which is binding on such a local address. One way to get your external (global) IP is to run: dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com I suggest that you read up on the various meanings of different IP ranges, whether they're local the loopback address, (127.0.0.1/0), local area network (192.168.0.0/16), or public internet. Once that's done, you should test various options, and if something works, it works. If it doesn't work, think about where the relevant computers are, whether they're on different networks, etc. Best wishes, Nick On Wednesday, July 29, 2015 at 2:35:41 AM UTC-4, Tasos Kallergis wrote: > > Ok but i thought that 127.0.0.1 is a valid ip address, and can used.
