Problems with BrainCMS

[Titanicijsberg]

So I installed xampp, cms and everything. In localhost it works fine.
But when I try to use my portforwarded IP, it doesn't work.
When I try to access the CMS through my IP, I get a Google error:
Website takes too long to load.

Portforwarding was succesfull, ports 80 and 3306 are opened correctly.
I searched for days without success on how to fix this.

PS: Database is root with no password. PHP is the newest version. And IP has been masked on purpose for here.

Buy a server, they're literally $10-20

It's not about having a money to have a server. It's about problem solving and learning. I started to study PHP. I don't want to bring this hotel online for masses the join. At most a friend or two.

I want to understand why it doesn't work. So I can learn from it. Is it something on my side? Did I do something wrong? Or is it XAMPP or the CMS? But I do know it's not my computer, since I portforwarded 80 and 3306 succesfully. Checked several times.

If you're certain on setting this up on your home PC and you're purposely doing this to learn new things then you don't need to port forward to run this locally. If you want your friends to play with you then yes, you do need to open some ports so they're able to access the hotel, although this is a massive security flaw if you're running this on your local machine.

Buying a server is a lot easier as you and your friends can play on the hotel, 24/7 and it's less of a security risk as it's being hosted on a virtual machine.

Also I recommend setting up IIS on Windows it's a lot easier IMO and safer than using XAMPP, you should be able to access the hotel on localhost as other would connect through your IP address if you've successfully opened the ports.

Hope this helped.
