Access PHP Files from other Computer on the Network

194 100+
Hi Everybody,

I have installed VertrigoServ 2.21. I am using it on my own computer on a network but now i want to access the files which are in WWW folder from a different computer on the network. I have googled around for this facility and i got to know dat there are two methods one is port forwarding which need access to the router and other is Listen lines in the httpd.conf. As i dont have access to the router and hence i can't forward the ports so i want to use the httpd.conf.

Please tell me how i can use it and if im using it, it will not harm the program. And will there by anything by using which i can prevent other computers accessing the files except those who got the permission.

Thank you.

If you wan't access just from inside your network, you won't be needing the port forwarding... Just make sure your firewall is not blocking your server and port 80. Then use your ip as a url on another compurter (Example: http://192.168.1.1/yourphpfile.php).

Good Luck

Thank you for your reply. How would i know if the firewall is blocking the server? and what will happen if i have DHCP enabled? can i enter the host name in palce of the ip address?
