Re: Can't connect Oracle DB from internet

If you can't ping your machine from outside home then the problem is definitely not with apache.conf. It means your ip address cannot be seen from the net. You don't say how you are connected to the net and if there is anything else (like a firewall for example) between your server and the net.

First of all work on getting your machine pingable, then retry the web requests.

Finally if your net connection is through an isp check the AUP of the ISP carefully. Most of them will not allow you to run a webserver on your homne connection anyway.
