How can I put my WAMP online for someone to access?

I would like to briefly open up my computer and allow my business partener to see what I've been developing on the my localhost. I understand there are probably some security issues with this but I only want to open up my computer for a few minutes.

What do I need to setup on the following interfaces to do this?

  1. my wireless router
  2. windows7
  3. WAMP

How do I make my WampServer accessible online?

Also replace all occurrences of deny all to allow from all in the httpd. conf file. Once that's done, go to the browser and type http://<your_ip> and it should be accessible from other computer in your network. If you want to bind a particular port for incoming connections to WAMP, search for Listen in httpd.

How can I access WampServer from another computer?

For security reasons, the WAMP ports in this solution cannot be accessed over a public IP address. To connect to WAMP from a different machine, you must open port 80, 443 for remote access. Refer to the FAQ for Windows, Linux and macOS for more information.

This works very easily for me on WinXP.

  • Fire up the command prompt and enter ipconfig /all - get your local IP address
  • Log into your router and set up port forwarding to forward HTTP to your local IP address
  • Click on your WAMP icon and click again on "Put Online"
  • Go to your remote IP (you can find it somewhere like http://www.whatsmyip.org/)

Another option is simply using a tunnelling service like:

  • pagekite.net
  • forwardhq.com
  • progrium.com/localtunnel/

Localtunnel is open source, while the others require you to pay a small monthly fee after a trial period.
