I'm a very small business and just putting up an information page for our business. nothing too complicated or anything. I imagine this site would be accessed a couple times a month at most.
I have most everything setup. the page is all done and in a subfolder of the www directory and accessible locally no problem. eventually we will point a domain at the website. BUT...
I have a static IP from my ISP and the webserver is accessible because I access the main wampserver page through my isp assigned static IP (example 123.123.123.123) from outside the network no problem, but trying to access the website iv'e created at the ip address (example 123.123.123.123/webfolder) results in a page getting returned as (localhost/webfolder) instead and a "this site cannot be reached" message.
is there something I need to change to fix this conversion to localhost? is there something i'm missing. should I be going about this in a different way?
