From: nagendra prasad on 27 Jun 2010 09:00 Hi All, I need help in setting up a home server. I know the subject line looks like an off topic but trust me its not. What I want is to set up a WAMP server over the intranet. I have a laptop and 2 desktop. I want to set up a desktop like a wamp server locally so that I can able to use or able to work from my other systems as well locally. I hope I made my point clear. If not please do let me know. Best, Guru.

If all the PC's are on the same network, the only thing you should do is turn on the wamp server and check the httpd.conf file policies on "Allow from".

From: "Systems" on 28 Jun 2010 10:11 The only thing to remember is that the firewall settings on the wamp / xampp machine have to be set to allow incoming connections. Then you can reach the server by IP. I would share the htdocs folder of the server (and map it on the other workstations) , so you can make changes to the working web installation directly from any machine. -----Original Message----- From: Phansys Corp [mailto:phansys(a)gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, June 27, 2010 12:47 PM To: nagendra prasad Cc: phpexperts(a)yahoogroups.com; PHP DB; php mysql; php-windows(a)lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] Re: [PHP-WIN] Need Help in setting up a server Hi nagendra prasad.

From: nagendra prasad on 29 Jun 2010 16:12 Hi all, Thanks everyone. I just tried all of your suggestions and found that WAMP server is working by using the running WAMP server's system IP. I just typed 192.168.1.4 in the address bar and its working now. So, I came to a conclusion that if I have a static IP then I can access it from out side as well right. Correct me if I am wrong ?? So, if I am right is it possible to run a server from home ?? Best, Guru.

The IP you cited Is the IP provided by your router or modem, and not one others from "out side" can use to access your server. Now on the other side of that, if you go to the machine that has the WAMP installed and open a browser and point it to "http://what.is.my.ip.com" you may see the "public IP" for that machine, which can be used for linking to your server, but is not guaranteed to stay with that machine depending on powering up and down of your systems, and your ISP's procedures for assigning IP's. Hope this helps, Warren Vail Vail Systems Technology -----Original Message----- From: nagendra prasad [mailto:nagendra802000(a)gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2010 1:12 PM To: phpexperts(a)yahoogroups.com; PHP DB; php mysql; php-windows(a)lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-WIN] Re: Need Help in setting up a server Hi all, Thanks everyone.
