Hi all,
I'm planning on setting up an intranet for an institution with many students. I want to use wamp as the server but i don't know if it will work efficiently?
Any suggestion on the best method(s) and equipment(s) will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

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

Hi,
why need a domain when its not to be accessed on the web? and what role does virtual host play on the intranet? i was thinking we use a computer system that has a god hard disk space with a lot of RAM?
I have just a modicum of knowledge with WAMP, i know how to turn it on so that a system can have access to it (cos i've tried it on two laptops), but will it work over wireless lan?

thanks for reply, just want to know and learn more

thanks
