Start with Weezo

Before you can install Weezo, you must disable any active web servers or active applications that are using the HTTP port (80).If you have a professional version of Windows, you can check to see if Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is turned off.Browse to Administrative Tools in Control Panel and navigate to Services . Then scroll down and double-click World Wide Web Publishing Service . For the Start-up option, select Manual and click OK .

Next you need to configure the firewall to allow inbound traffic on port 80. On Windows XP or later operating systems, you can open the Control Panel and browse to the Windows Firewall . Then go to the Exceptions list and add TCP port 80 .

If you are connecting to the Internet through a router, you must configure it to forward incoming traffic on port 80 to the IP address of the Weezo PC.This is how Weezo can work on the Internet.In the router's web-based configuration utility, look for virtual server settings or port forwarding.

When you open Weezo for the first time, you will create an account and receive your URL (such as www. Weezo.net/yourname ), here you or anyone can access to log in to your resources. .
