Oh, and this is the other bit of code in that same file:

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] # uploaded files
   RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+)  wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L] # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
   RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
   RewriteCond  %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
   RewriteRule   ^ - [L]
   RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
   RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
   RewriteRule . index.php [L]#

Hi Again,

Thanks for keeping up on this post Brad and no worries on taking any amount of time. So I do not have a static ip and when I changed that settings on the router I ended up having router issues for the last 3 days! Oops!

So I went to my domain name provider (Go Daddy) and delegated the no-ip name servers to my domain. No-ip.com gave me ns1.no-ip.com, ns3.no.ip.com, & ns4.no-ip.com. So I added those name servers to my domain.

Then I updated the http.conf file. For some reason, the code that you pointed me to would not properly start the WAMP server. So I reverted back to the code that would work:

NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
DocumentRoot “C:/wamp/www”
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:8080>
DocumentRoot “C:/wamp/www/ambwebdesigns”
ServerName ambwebdesigns.com.ns1.no-ip.com
ErrorLog logs/ambwebdesigns_error.log
</VirtualHost>

But now I am not able to see any of my pages. I have wordpress installed in the folder ambwebdesigns but I cannot see it when I type in ambwebdesigns.com or ambwebdesigns.com:8080.

I am also unable to access myphpadmin or my localhost even by appending 8080 to the end of the name.

My question is when I use the current ip4 address in the host file and the port forwarding, does no-ip.com resolve those addresses as well?

Sorry about my noviceness and thanks again for your help.

Headed to your donation box now!!! 🙂

Brad!

You totally rock!!! I had tried the 8080 change to the apache file before but again could not get the localhost to display so when you posted about the DDNS I thought that was the missing piece. The ah ha moment for me was the 80 port for http, which I totally missed.

Your tutorial was really great. I had been putting all the pieces together for the self-hosted blog and your tutorial really helped me understand it all in a more complete manner.

Thanks again.

Hope to be of help to you one day!

Cheers right back to you!!

Best, Amber
