S silent1mezzo In Runtime Messages 230 May 15, 2008 #4 Port 80 shouldn't be blocked...But...what you can do is edit the httpd.conf file so Apache listens to a different port. Click on the wamp icon Go to Config->httpd.conf Edit "Listen 80" and "ServerName localhost:80" to whichever port you want Restart wamp

A Few ISP's block it, to prevent people from using their connection to host websites..

root Site Team Staff member Messages 8,185 Location UK Jul 28, 2008 #6 after you've set it to listen on another port you'll have to tell your web browser that. eg http://mysite.com:8080 or http://192.168.0.1:8080

Do You use a router? router may block that port, so Your site will not be visible to outsiders. Allso, if You have a router You need to port-forward. If You don't have static IP, you need a small service, wich will allways store Yours current IP, and forward a domain name to it. So visitors will allways be getting to yours IP whatever it will be. Alternatively You may want to get a hosting company for this. http://www.000webhost.com/80881.html thi is still the best hosting service I know of, and yes it will allow You to have a decent site for free.
