Hay gys!

I’ve never had to do this before, so i feel ashamed by asking- I have to set up a server- Its a windows machine that someone set up for me.

I thought it was easy- so I just installed Apache I went to the “Internet Information Services” And there is a Default website already there-- IP 128.171.195.249 - so I put a index.htm file in the directory, and … nothing…

Am I missing something- I though this was easy-- man this is emberassing…:ne:

Okay- i found what the problem was- once you said about the wrong IP, ive decided to check and yes i had to servers running on port 80- IIS and Apache!  
Man that was dumb!  
I suck at this!
