i installed wampserver on my remote windows VPS.i opened port 80.
after that i try to connect it by typing "h t t p : / / remotelink" on my local machine browser.but i can not connect.so how ? thanks

 

You don't use Wampserver on a production VPS. For starters, make sure your Wampserver is configured to accept connections from the internet and not just the localhost. Then make sure your VPS does not have a firewall setting preventing access.

 

"make sure your Wampserver is configured to accept connections from the internet and not just the localhost"

thanks. how to do it ? firewall is pasive

 

Your best option is probably to head over to the Wampserver forum and ask over there. And see this configuration information:

As for your firewall, I have no idea really. I have no experience with a Windows server. Is your VPS managed? Do they offer support? I suggested you check the firewall because on some Linux systems the firewall is configured to block connections by default, so if you install a new program you might have to manually open the port. I cannot say the same about Windows.

As for Wampserver, I know that XAMPP is intended for development use only and not for use on a production server. I imagined that WAMP was the same way. A quick search shows that some people are using WAMP for active websites on the internet. You can possibly get some tips from this:

There isn't really anything wrong with using Wamp, although some of the default settings should be changed (especially the SQL-settings) - the default is there for ease of access for a dev, not for security for online hosting.
