Configuring webserver for addons
#1
Hi All,

I'm new here and with XBMC, first of all, compliments for the product.
Maybe I have a dumb question, but I cannot find any solutions searchin the whole forum, so I hope someone can help me.
For myself and my friends and family I bought a couple of Raspberry Pi's with XBMC installed on it.
Because I'm the only one with a little of knowledge about computers and stuff I would like to add a virtual directory on my hosting environment so when nice addons come out, my friends can install the addon by browsing to that virtual directory.

I have setup a file location at the XBMC file manager pointing to my virtual directory, but when they click install addon by zip-file and point to that adress nothing happens.
Is there something misconfigured at my virtual directory settings?
It is a windows host with directory browsing enabled.
I can browse to the address with innternet explorer on my pc and everything works just fine.

Is there something I am missing?

Hope you can help me.

Kind regards and thanks in advance,

Loogie

You most likely need to port forward your webserver port on your router (otherwise you can only access it in your own network) and you likely need to configure a dyndns for others to be able to access your shared hosting (as your ip is constantly changing).

Hello,

Thanks for your quick answer.
I think you misunderstood me.
I have a hosting on the internet (with my own domain).

Kind regards
