WampServer

Hi all,

I just installed WAMP on a computer which we bought to serve as a development server.

I want the [localhost] webpages to be accessible from the other computers in the network but they can't seem to connect. The server is in online mode and whether i try the internal IP, external IP or computer name, the server can't be accessed.

What am I overlooking? It has to be something very simple.

Thanks in advance.

Problem solved!

Windows Firewall enabled itself and was preventing the other computers in the network from accessing the server.

Next problem, how to access phpmyadmin from the other computers?

By default, phpmyadmin and sqlitemanager are blocked from outside access for your own security, and you should leave it that way; however, if you now for sure what you're doing, it's not hard for you to figure out to set it up to meet your desire needs.

Have fun,

[www.jlbn.net] (Basic Guide for WAMP & Add-ons)

to allow others to access phpmyadmin but not the outside world, you can use the apache allow directive.

left click on the wamp tray icon -> alias directories -> [localhost] -> edit alias

find:
Allow from 127.0.0.1

below that add all your allowable ip addresses

Allow from 111.111.111.1
Allow from 222.222.222.2

save the file and restart apache for the changes to take effect.
