WampServer

Hi, this is my first post and I need some advice.

I plan to search the forum for answers but I'm not sure exactly where to start.

Here's my situation: I have two pc's in a workgroup. Both have wamp installed on them, and I don't think either one was set up correctly because I can't access them with a URL.

Should I uninstall them both and start all over? Or, should I leave them there and try to reconfigure them?

This is what I want: I want to be able to develop/test code on one pc and have the server/db on the other pc. Ideally, I could use either pc as the client. Can I do this and is it recommended? Or should I have/do everything (client and server) on one pc only?

Thanks for your advice, this will really help.

the url to access them is localhost or the ip of the pc

Thanks, showstopper. Sounds like you think I would be better off reconfiguring what I have. Can two pcs on the same workgroup access the local server?

Theory, you can have more than 1 server in same LAN; however, it's required more settings and config than just simply install wamp on each; thus, suggest to uninstall wamp on 1 and follow these guides

Before going any further, you should backup your wamp and also check these basic guides to familiar w/ wamp; otherwise, just follow the next guides

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 on your wamp PC. If dont have real Domain, just skip DNS guide
