Hi to every body. I'm building an application in php which is going to work on the Local Area Network. But I don't know how to make the folder of my application available on the network. What is the procedure to maki it possible.
Localhost on WAMP accessible on the LAN
It should already be available.
Open command prompt, type in ipconfig, and use that to find you ip. You may want to set it as permanent.
Other computers on your network just type in your ip + : + the port you've assigned to LAMP to access your content.
That it! It'll only work while your computer is on and LAMP is running though...

I am working on windows, that is why i use WAMP. My preoccupation now is to know how do i set it permanet.
And one more thing, i don't know which port is assigned to WAMP (How may i know it?). I assume that the default port was 80, but when i typed it to another computer, the 403 error appears.
Be more explicit please.
Thank you.
Hm..unless your firewall is blocking it, it should have worked...and yea, port80 is the default (at least thats what it is on my XAMPP install)
To set a default ip, right click your connection, -- propperties -- TCP/IP Connect -- propperties, and then set it in there.
Be sure to get all the numbers correct, they can be found out with the command ipconfig -all

You want me to set a default ip?

I thought it was the IP you wanted to be set permanently.
On my Local network, Ip are activated by DHCP. My problem is to know the defaul port of WAMP on my machine.

Go to localhost/ ...that should have some info for you...otherwise check the appache config..
I saw it. WAMP is really using tha port 80. I just made a left click on apache in the tray, the went to pache, then to install wervice. A prompt windows just went out and let me know that Apache is using the port 80.
But i also solved my problem. It was very simple. I just clicked on "Put it online". And it worked.
Thank for your help. Do you think i have to make my Ip static? Dou you think it can change one day because it is dynamic?

If your router gives out dynamic IP's, it will stop working if, for example the other computer is turned on first (gets given first IP in range), coz then you'll get the second IP in range.
So yea, if your relying on ip access to your server, set a static local ip - you'll get other advantages from that as well including but not limited to remote ftp / client-to-client bittorrent conn. / ability to host various games etc.
Thanks for the advice. I'll do.

Actually, most routers nowadays automatically try and maintain the same IP to each machine (and even old routers are able to adress a DHCP IP to a specific Mac address, but this is harder to setup).
But since you have a DHCP server, you are naturally also using the Routers DNS server and that means you are able to reach the machine by machine name instead of IP. For instance, if your computer is named "pollux" you will most likely be able to reach it using http://pollux (since WAMP is using default port 80, there's no need to use it on the address)
using this method, there won't be any problem with dynamic IP's because the router will always know what IP your machine is using. (given you use DHCP and DNS servers in the same router, that is)
Might be easier than setting up a fixed IP on your machine (and in the future having a possible IP conflict if the IP you set to your computer is also assigned to another PC by the DHCP server)
Be Well
You are right. I tryed with the name and it also worked.
