Ok This is what I am trying,
I run the telnet on the server without a problem.
However, when I run the webpage it times out on everyone. Is there a different port I should open on my router to let people log into the webpage. I know that Dialsoft Whois Online runs alongside the webpage. I installed DIAWHO and it is having the same problem with people not able to see it, but I can see it offline just fine.

Is there a seperate port setting for the web site to be viewed from the outside?

Thanks

Yes. You have to open port 80 to allow HTTP access.

My ISP Blocks 80.
Is there a way that the port can be changed like we do with xamp.
Instead of using default 80, change the port to 900 (for example).

Yes, I just checked on mine and you can change that to whatever value you want. Need to change it in LEVEL 4 configuration under Web Server and then in your router. Should work though. I have seen people use 8080.

Got IT Changed the port to 50.
Thanks

yeah just change it to whatever but be wary of it saying it allows 1-65535 the port values are an int with a max value of 32767.
