I'm trying to setup Paypal IPN listener. I need Paypal to be able to "see" my locally hosted website in order to test this before going live. What I've done so far, from reading around is:
1. Ensured Apache was listening to port 80, using: Listen 80 in httpd.conf
2. Opened port 80 on my firewall
3. Tested it on canyouseeme.org to ensure it was open
4. Found my computer's IP address using cmd.exe then ipconfig to get the IPv4 address
5. Set up port forwarding on my router to port 80, using this IPv4 address as the internal host
6. Set up an account at no-ip.com, let's say it's mysite.no-ip.biz, so that I could access my computer through that rather than my internet IP address
7. Downloaded their client so that my dynamic IP is automatically updated and will continue to be accessible through mysite.no-ip.biz
8. Visited hidemyass.com to access "mysite.no-ip.biz" to see what an external user sees
9. I can now see adminer.php and a cgi-bin folder
None of which I could have done before. But now I'm stuck. I normally access my site locally by loading AMPPS and it's configured so that I can go to www.mysite.local/ in my browser (by setting this up in the "Manage Domains" option)
How do I enable it to be "seen" externally and test this given the previous steps I've gone through? I feel like the dog in the "I have no idea what I'm doing" meme!
