Hi, I am a new commer to server world and php ;)
since i started working with apache my probs begins . i can make my apache server on inetrnet although i have as a domain and my ip but other computers cant access me i dont have any firewall more than black ice and windows' and my norton is not internet security ! the only matter is my linksys wireless router ( if this is a matter ) can any one help me with this.
also i was wondering is it neccessary to update to apahe 2.0 or not ?! thnx
 

You probably need to set up port forwarding on the linksys.

Point your browser to its IP, usually 192.168.1.1, the default user/pass is admin/admin. Go to "Advanced" in the interface, then "Forwarding" and tell it to forward port 80 to the ip address of your web server.

 
Well your problem appears to be rather simple

1) your setup/apache configuration doesn't appear to be setup properly --
<-- IP for arimoos.zapto.org

2) DNS seems to be a little messed up

<dig arimoos.zapto.org>
arimoos.zapto.org. 60 IN A 63.215.241.205

<host 63.215.241.205>
205.194-255.241.215.63.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer
As you can see while the first report indicates the assigned IP for your domain, the reverse DNS of that IP for the domain is setup for a different domain

I'd have to say that your apache/system settings along with possible router issues may be your problem, as #2 shouldn't affect your being seen/accessed online

What version of windows are you using?
 
hi , thanks for your kind replies.
i have windows Xp sp2 right now .. but let me open the problem .. i have one router and a wireless .. but the problem is that i reffer my server to an internal ip .. i dont get it .. maybe i should know my external ip !!! but i dont !
i made the changes that u said still no luck you can see it your self thnx anyways but may be i am doomed .. on this pc !
i have done this with one router !
 
Mashang,

You do need to know your external (routable) IP address, which is how DNS lookups will know which IP to use to get to your router. Your router then forwards the incoming request to the correct internal IP address for your webserver, which in turn responds to the client request.
