How to access site running apache server over lan without internet connection

Question

In your httpd.conf make sure you have:

Listen *:80

And if you are using VirtualHosts then set them as given below:

NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
   ...
</VirtualHost>

Open httpd.conf of Apache server (backup first) Look for the the following : Listen

Change the line to

Listen *:80

Still in httpd.conf, look for the following (or similar):

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
    Deny from all
</Directory>

Change this block to :

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
    #Deny from all
</Directory>

Save httpd.conf and restart apache

Open port 80 of the server such that everyone can access your server.

Open Control Panel >> System and Security >> Windows Firewall then click on “Advance Setting” and then select “Inbound Rules” from the left panel and then click on “Add Rule…”. Select “PORT” as an option from the list and then in the next screen select “TCP” protocol and enter port number “80” under “Specific local port” then click on the ”Next” button and select “Allow the Connection” and then give the general name and description to this port and click Done.

Restart WAMP and access your machine in LAN or WAN.

* Don't change anything to Listen : keep it as it is..

1) Open httpd.conf of Apache server (backup first) Look for the the following :

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
    #Deny from all
</Directory>

and also this

<Directory "cgi-bin">
    AllowOverride None
    Options None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

2) Now From taskbar :

Click on wamp icon > Apache > Apache modules > apache_rewrite (enable this module)

And Ya Also Activate "Put Online" From same taskbar icon

You need to allow port request from windows firewall setting.

(Windows 7)

Go to control panel > windows firewall > advance setting (on left sidebar)

then

Right click on inbound rules -> add new rule -> port -> TCP (Specific port 80 - if your localhost wok on this port) -> Allow the connections -> Give a profile name -> ok

Now Restart all the services of Apache server & you are done..

if you did change the httpd.conf file located under conf_files folder, don't use windows notepad, you need a unix text editor, try TED pad, after making any changes to your httpd.conf file save it. ps: if you use a dos/windows editor you will end up with an "Error in Apache file changed" message. so do be careful....

nothing to be done for running your wamp sites to another computer. 1. first turn off the firewall. 2. Set Put Online in wamp by clcking in wamp icon at near to clock.

Finally run your browser in another computer and type http:\ip address or computer name e.g. http:\192.168.1.100

Your firewall does not allow any new connection to share information without your consent. ONLY thing to do is give your consent to your firewall.

1. Go to Firewall settings in Control Panel

2. Click on Advanced Settings

3. Click on Inbound Rules and Add a new rule.

4. Choose 'Type Of Rule' to Port.

5. Allow this for All Programs.

6. Allow this rule to be applied on all Profiles i.e. Domain, Private, Public.

7. Give this rule any name.

That's it. Now another PC and mobiles connected on the same network can access the local sites. Lets Start Development.
