Pi3Web giving me hell

I need help running Pi3Web. I have installed it, forwarded ports 70-80
[/QUOTE]
*Note* I have forwarded 70-80, not just 80*/note*
I set up my url as my external ip address.


Whenever i try to start the server i get this message
[/QUOTE]

I have tried all the ports from 70-80 and port 443, still no luck, can anyone help?
 
Ahh… your problem most likely lies with the fact that most ISPs block port 80. You can try another external port like 8080 and see if that works.

However anytime someone would want to access your site from the outside, they would need to use the socket addy ex:1.1.1.1:8080. You can get around this by using a dynamic DNS provider like no-ip.org or dyndns.com that will automatically forward port 80 to port 8080 so users would not need to use the socket addy.

That still didnt work. It came up with the same error "failed to bind to port 8080". Maybe the problem is just Pi3Web, do you know of any other programs that would allow me to run a webserver?
 
I have only seen the .tar.gz downloads for apache, no .exe. Can you give me a direct link for the one for windows?
 
try www.wampserver.com the english button is right under the logo. it installs apache mysql and php automatically. to get it to run port on the port you want just left click the button in the system try, go to config files and open httpd.conf and look for
#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses (0.0.0.0)
#
#Listen .0.0.0.0.0:80
Listen 80

Where the zeroes are, put your IP (ipchicken.com) and ctrl f for 80 in that file and change it to the port you want

Alright great, it works!

Thanks you everyone who have helped me out! Thanks a ton!

P.S. Any one here good at php?
EDIT: If you want to view it, its at http://68.121.160.66/. Chances are, its going to be bare for awhile.

I ran a tester and it said 1.1 Megabits p/s. Pretty slow. I went to my site threw ctunnel and it seemed like an, alright speed, definitly not 4 seconds. About 2.
