[SIZE=3]\*\* Okay, \*\*[/SIZE]  
seriously, now I know why they say to use Linux to make a webserver… But anyway, I am setting up a webserver with Apache 2.0.47 (the PHP Installation later, i’m sure i’l be in this forum for that!). I set it up so it would start in Console on port 8080, on localhost (Yes, 8080, because stupid AOL and Verizon block 80!!!). Right now, if you type in “localhost:8080” the “Apache Start Page” will appear. How do I make it so if I type in my website ([tfetest.no-ip.com](http://tfetest.no-ip.com)), which is set to a port redirect to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080, to make the Apache start page come up? Need help, please! If you need me to be more descriptive, which I can, tell me. Any help will be appreciated! :sure:
