Talk:Enable PHP to run PHP driven websites

TIPS

If you want to test your website from outside in order for example to check that your port are correctly open on your router, you can try to use a Proxy. Pick up one on the web. In http://www.tech-faq.com/lang/fr/proxy-sites.shtml for example. Then from the proxy type the public DDNS url of your web site. This way you can test it in real conditions (outside your LAN) as it is the proxy server that will address your web site and not your web browser directly.

Is This Unnecessary?

I don't think any of the dyndns stuff is necessary. I do use DynDNS (on a different router) but I access php applications all the time using either the ip address directly http://192.168.1.1 or using http://fsg. I do put my dyndns address in the "Domain" text box, but it isn't necessary for accessing the pages locally.

One thing that might be different is that I always create a "Web Front Page" that points to a Dummy folder (an empty folder with just a blank index.html) and then create Aliases pointing to the applications that I want to host.

I am using firmware 3.1.22. Can we get some confirmation that this is how it works for other people too?

Added an old post about it. It is certainly not required to use a DDNS name. We follow the apache guidelines to namevirtual server.

Hi dbeardsl, can you confirm that your php websites can be accessed from the outside with this setup?

Hi rbar, thanks for the addition

No, the fsg is not accessable from the outside using the internal address, but yes, it is accessible if I put in the correct "domain" (my dyndns address). I haven't tried subdomains yet. -- Dbeardsl 20:44, 29 June 2006 (CEST)
