I'ḿ new to Ubuntu and installed apache2, php and mysql referring to these instructions: Setting up VPS Ubuntu Server 14 04 LTS WordPress Lamp Linux, Apache2, MySQL, PHP - YouTube

As far as I know from Windows, default XAMPP installation, for example, runs only on localhost, not on the internet.

I assume the same for this installation.

I tried from another computer to connect to my ip-adress but it was not possible.

So everything is fine now, right?

  • find your ip address with ifconfig and check? If you haven't done any port forwarding. Then it will only be visible on the local network. (ie 192.168.0.xxx)

Yes if you want to access it from anywhere you need a static ip, else you can only find it from local host.

You can set up a static ip for free with this http://www.noip.com/ then you access your pc by its ip.
