check port 80 ... to view your site on your loopback address you dont have to actually access the internet ...
run cmd
netstat -ano
in your comand prompt
to check what is running on your ports that is in conflict with your apache server.
if there is a program running on port 80 (teamviewer iis skype etc all use port 80 by default)
close it and disable the portion that is running on port 80
if not
then check first your windows firewall settings then whatever 3rd party firewall settings and finally your router/hardware firewall settings to allow port 80 or domain forwarding options
and like I said before DONT RUN YOUR WEBSERVER ON YOUR VPS LOL
even a free webhost is a better idea than hosting it on your vps because you are practicly inviting people to kill your server that way for multiple reasons
wampp xampp etc are all designed to be used as a "local test environment" for windows
where an actual web server is built specificly for hosting sites and is designed to do only that and be secure
windows server is designed to be multipurpose so technically if you did want to host on your gameserver you dont have to use either of those programs you could use the web server built into windows server by enabling it in your server manager
but to do that you would have to learn about asp and how to run a .net webserver which is a waste of time if you just want to host a video game
