Access Wamp from Another Computer

PROBLEM:

• Want to access WAMP server from another computer which was connected through LAN

REASON:

SOLUTION:

FIND YOUR IP ADDRESS:

1. Open Command Prompt from Start menu

2. Type ipconfig in the command prompt

3. The IPv4 Address is your IP Address.

CONNECT TO SPECIFIC DEVICE:

• Click on the Apache server on the right side bottom of your page
• Open httpf-vhosts.conf file

• In that you will find a line like “Require local”

• Add “Require ip 192.168.0.5” which is the Ip address of the computer where you want to open the wamp server

ALLOW WAMP THROUGH FIREWALL:

• Open Windows firewall in your Control panel from Start Menu

• On the left side, click on Allow a program or feature through Windows firewall

• Click on allow another program

• Add Wamp server in the list.

Now you can access Wamp from Another computer…

HAPPY CODING!
