I have set up wamp on my workstation at work and i have it set up with multiple vhosts, and everythig is working great only on that workstation.

I need to be able to store my test server files on my actual server so that i can access this from any workstation i use. example being when i set up the conf file, i tell it that my server is website.localhost and the files to fraw from are c:/wamp/www/website.

But I need to have the c:/wamp/www/website location to be changed to a drive on my server, and not my workstation.

I have tried to use a mapped drive i names s, but that didnt work

any ideas?

Am i supposed to install wamp on my server, then set it up with the static ip information?

No matter within or outside LAN access, you need to setup Access, DNS, and VH; Access for permission to connect to your Wamp PC, DNS to tie Domain(s) to your Wamp PC, and VH to host multiple Domains/Websites/IP's and even you have only 1 Domain/IP, you should use VH to set it up w/ the site you want to show up first on top and localhost on bottom and others in middle if having more than 1 site; w/ VH, other PC's, no matter w/i or outside LAN, can access/see websites/contents of that particular folder set for that particular VH on your wamp PC. If dont have real Domain, just skip DNS guide
