 Posted: Mon 25 Aug '08 23:51 Post subject: Access apache server on LAN (from Mac OS to Windows) |
 |
|
Hi, I’ve been searching for long time for a solution of my problem, but didn’t succeed. Hope anyone here can help me.
- I have a LAN that connects a Machine running Windows XP with another running Mac OS.
- My Apache Server is installed on the Windows XP Machine.
- The httpd.conf has the fallowing settings:
| Code: | <Directory "E:/MyFolder/www">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory> |
- And my question is: How can I access my Apache Server Running on Windows XP from the Mac OS Machine? |

Did you also change the DocumentRoot to DocumentRoot ?
Which IP did you use to connect? if you don't know your IP run cmd.exe => ipconfig that will print out your LAN IP. |

I used de IP 192.168.0.1 to connect, but whtout success.
I also tried do connect from my Windows to the mac OS Apache and succeed. I used the Mac IP Address. |

is the 192.168.0.1 the real IP from the XP PC? You changed
Directory "E:/MyFolder/www"
did you also changed
DocumentRoot "E:/MyFolder/www"
??
Is apache running? Can you reach it on the XP PC in a browser with http://127.0.0.1 or http://127.0.0.1:8080 ? |

Hi, I finally solved.
The problem was the firewall settings. I had the windows firewall activated and didn't make an exception for Apache.
Anyway, thanks a lot for the help. And Hope the posts can help other people. |
