Simple XAMPP/DynDNS Tutorial

This is a tutorial on how to easily set up a web server using XAMPP. I also show basic port forwarding with a dynamic IP address through DynDNS.

I am no longer maintaining this video. I don't use XAMPP and try not to use Windows anymore. Please take it for what it's worth but if you have questions, ask Google (he's always listening).

Thanks for the suggestion parkgore. I did this a year and a half ago for school so won't be updating it. The funny part is that it's done really well on YouTube but I didn't get a good grade on it.

so after i do all this i'm still not hosting my own server off my computer >:C

i'm half ass sharing a server with DynDNS

@natmaxex If you actually try to use this for a production web server, you're an idiot. This would be good if you wanted to show clients what you've been working on and don't have access to a separate web server.

@emachnic so i cant relay host a server off my computer?

caws i did all this and i still cant access my sight outside of my computer DX

@natmaxex You should be able to access your computer from another, that's the point of DynDNS. If you aren't able to, it may be something with your ISP blocking ports.

@apollonael are you running skype or teamviewer? usually instant messaging applications use port 80, you'll need to exit any of these in order to install properly

[apollonael]

PORT 80 BUSY

I wonder about the updater, is it needed. I have been told by the support team from DYNDNS.com that either run the updater ot set up your router to run as updater. If both are running you will recieve an error message that IP address was not able to update. Good luck
