WampServer

How do I get access to wamp from another pc on my home network? I have set wamp to be online and typed the ip address of the pc into my browser on the other pc but I get "The website declined to show this webpage."

Any ideas as to what is wrong?

When I try appying that I get this error:

Please select a End Map as asn Integer

Nothing is wrong.

How did you configure your Apache Server? Is it only serving "localhost"?

Localhost, as the name says is only accessible from localhost. You need to set your apache server to serve your real hostname, such as mymachine.example.com.

Then you will be able to access the server as mymachine.example.com, provided your internal LAN domain is example.com

huh? I just want to be able to access localhost on my pc from anotherone by setting the server to be online and then using my local ip. I just need guidance to what to do with this error!

I'm using yfastud's assistance and just waiting to see what he suggests next,

what exactly did you put in there and what is your router model?

I put in exactly as you said so:

HTTP
TCP
80
80
192.168.1.50 - this is my address 100% positive

and the router being used is a D-Link DSLG604T

Put 80 for Port Map and try again

Right, that applied ok so I saved all router settings, restarted it for settings to be applied properly and tested putting the ip address in the browser but it still won;t show the wamp main page as it should do.

ip to put in browser is wan ip, not lan ip; check your wan ip w/
[whereismyip.com]

I'm not trying to access it from outside my network. I wnat to access it from INSIDE the network but from another pc and I used to be able to do it by

1. putting the wamp server online and

2. entering the local ip ie: 192.168.1.50 into the other pc's browser.

So why won't it work now

regards,
Neil

On Port Forwarding menu and Advance tab on your router, make sure to put in this number 192.168.1.50

Yep, I made sure that was set before but still no luck

When trying to access wamp using the ip on the other pc the error is an http 403

Did you enable port 80 and LAN access in your firewall as well?

How do I do that as i find kaspoersky IS firewall config settings to be really confusing. I have noticed that if i disbale the kaspersky firewall then the error i get is still http 403 but it says "The website declined to show this webpage"

Any other ideas as this used to work and I ahve no idea why it's being a pain.

I know this thread is a little stale, but I solved this problem for myself recently.

I tried port forwarding, but it is unnecessary when you just want to use your laptop to access WAMP on your desktop at home. Also, it exposes your personal server to the world, which you probably aren't ready for just yet if you're just getting started. You simply need to go to your Windows Firewall settings, under the Control Panel, and add an exception at port 80 for WAMP.

It's similar (slightly easier) under XP. Just google "windows firewall exceptions"


Hope this helps.
