How to make my static website public in wamp

I am trying to make my static website in wamp public. In other tutorials, I saw that there's an option to make online/offline in httpd.conf. I dont see that now.

I changed the Listens 80 to Listens: 168.25.365..(private IP). But the wamp is yellow.

What do I need to make wamp server public?

You could make your wamp public, but it is ill advisable. WAMP is a developer's tool, to easily administer and install Apache, MySQL, and PHP on a windows machine.

To host your website, you need to host in on a publicly accessible host (still with a webserver (e.g. apache og nginx), with PHP and MySQL backend). This will require you to upload your code via scp or ftps and then configure your database via e.g. phpmyadmin.

If you REALLY want your wamp to be public, you need to keep your pc on, forward a port in your router (assuming something like NAT, unless your router gives you a publicly adressable IP), and opening firewalls etc. There are many reasons that this is a bad idea, among others that your PC is vulnerable to any attacks that the apache server in wamp is vulnerable to.

If you realise that this is not what you want to do, please rephrase your question to allow us to help you get an answer.
