help with apache

[ercw]

I just intalled a router so my mac and my wife's mac can go to the same cable modem. So now I have a new IP assigned.
when I try to connect to my local site folder with the ip# and the /~myusername I get a:
"FORBIDEN You don't have permission to access /~myusername/ on this server."

this used to work with old ip.
Do I need to reconfigure Apache authorization or something like that? and if so , how do I do it?


thanks

If you have a new IP, is the router forwarding port 80 to the new IP?

ok, go to system preferences, select network, select the method use use to connect to your network (probably either ethernet or airport), click configure, click the TCP/IP tab, see the local IP adress of your router, and type that into your browser. that will give you a configuration page. take a screenshot of that and post it. from there, i can help you figure out what to do, because i only currently know what the belkin router config page looks like.

I appreciate your help. But when I do this it prompts me for a password.
I used my computer's user and password but no cigar

try leaving it blank, that's the default on most routers, including my belkin. if that doesn't work, try "admin" or "root."

The password is based on the router, and has nothing to do with your local username/password.

The router should have come with instructions on logging into it and setting up port forwarding and whatnot.

Using a different browser I was able to get to it . This is screen shot of the only section that has anything to do with port numbers

for my linksys the username was "admin" and password was "admin" if that doesn't work leave the passwrod blank and just try the username
