I want to configur apache,local host that others can see.I mean with our home network.because i am testing a website.So i need to publish it in our home workgroup.How to configure it.I know how to do it in IIS.but how to do it in Apache web server.

The hard way is download Apache form its official web site and configure it manually.

But the easiest way is use the stable apache version which comes as an exe file ( included sql, phpmy admin , apache all to gether.)

elakiri

Thanks for that info.But i mean to configure the apache to publish site to other computer.like internet.

Yes , after installing that exe file you can use your pc as an virtual server .
You can preview all web based applicatiopns and sql based applications same as you view on the internet.

I have installed it in my PC.....

If the home workgroup is connected to a switch or a router locally then it won't be a huge problem machang...

Just give some 198.168.X.X range IP addresses to all machines and by the IP address you can access each of the 'localhosts'.


(Sometimes you might be able to access the other computer by the name it self.. Not sure... just check.)

Use ip address as 127.0.0.1 to connect to locatl host ( it is the standard ip for local host)
