Can't access site from network

Our intranet was working fine until I upgraded to a newer version of WAMP. Now, I can no longer access the site unless I am logged into the server and running it as localhost. Can someone tell me how to make it accessible again?

Originally, our network admin set up the access, but he is no longer working here. I know the site is accessible from the network, as it was working this morning.

I am not good with Apache/PHP/MySQL configuration, but I am good with following directions. I just want our intranet to work again. The connection was only from inside our network, so I do not need help with outside connections.

Thanks.

click start on windows

type in

services.msc


scroll down to

wampapache
wampmysqld


right click each> properties> change MANUAL to AUTOMATIC.

if your not a ADMIN user then you will also need to press the LOGON tab at the top and fill
in ADMIN user and PASSWORD so wamp can run on start up

You should setup VH instead; then, you can type 'http://site1' to show the webpage and/or content of folder c:\wamp\www\site1, for example, 'http://site2' to show the webpage and/or content of folder c:\wamp\www\site2, 'http://site3' to show the webpage and/or content of folder c:\wamp\www\site3 ... in additions, you can add their shortcuts to custom WAMP Menu for quick access; check screenshot below winking smiley

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
