Hello,
I am running Apache 2.2.11 on my Windows XP laptop for a development/testing environment. I would like my boss/co-worker to view my pages before I move them to a live site on the web. I am able to view the pages fine when I am on my own pc. I tried changing the hosts file on another computer in the office to point to my computer for this test site, but the page would not come up. What do I need to change so that I can view my pages from another computer in my local network?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Mike |

Hi Mike,
if you don't need a host name, the easiest method is to using the IP from your PC to access it from the network.
e.g.
http://192.168.0.5
if you need to have a host name you need a DNS server or you edit the hosts files on the other PC as you tried.
e.g.
| Code: |
192.168.0.5 mikesserver
|
replace 192.168.0.5 with your IP.
Also make sure that your firewall does not block the port from apache.
If you still have a question please ask again. |
