Hi,

 

I hope someone can help me or guide me in the correct direction.

 

I have set up WAMP on my pc and I would like it to be accessible on every pc on the network.

 

I have tried to replace "localhost" with my ip address but that didnt work!

 

Basically I would like to have a "localhost" for the entire office so that everyone can view and access the site while being developed.

Give each PC a static IP address then just navigate to your PC say 192.168.1.8 by entering 192.168.1.8 in the browser on the other PC's. If you have your websites in a directory named my-websites then 192.168.1.8/my-websites will get you there. Depends on where you have your root set in config.

 

You may have to configure your firewall to allow this but it is quite simple.

Thanks for your reply!

 

I have tried that, all the pc's on the network have a static ip and it doesn't work.

If they open a .html file it works but if its a Wordpress site or something with php then it doesn't work.

 

Any ideas?

Can view .php files on your local PC

 

Check Apache httpd config file is:

 

<IfModule dir_module>

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php

</IfModule>

Hi Thanks,

 

I checked the file and it has that in the file already.

 

not sure what to do now.

Have you checked that everything is running in WAMP? I have no experience with this prefering to set things up individually.

 

Can you view pages using localhost AND the ip address on YOUR PC?

No haven't got this working yet.

 

We have decided to get the company that handles our hosting to setup something for us.

 

Thank you so much for your help. I really did think it would be something simple but clearly I need to start learning about hosting so that I can do this kind of stuff in the future.

 

Thanks again for your help!

It probably is something simple. A firewall or mac filtering issue with the router, or perhaps AV issue. Happy to try to help if you want to continue.
