Hello
how can I install Oxid & Xammp in Windows so we can work in a team in the backend in our LAN?
I know there are hundreds of posts on the internet dealing with XAMPP and lan accessibility, however I don’t make it.
Briefly:
Oxid runs in XAMP on PC1.
PC2 – PC3 need to access Oxid backend and so on PC1.
Are there any tipps how get this done?
thanks alot!
This is normally possible by default, so it would be good to know more about the problem, like which windows versions, are any firewalls installed, can you see the other computers in explorer etc.
In short:
open command window on all pcs (run -> “cmd”), type “ipconfig” hit enter and note ipv4 addresses, then in the same window try to reach one another with “ping ipaddress” (e.g. “ping 192.168.0.10”). If this works, open the browser on remote pc and type the ip address or the name of the webserver (pc1) in the address bar (You can see the name in control panel / system of pc1). If it does not work, deactivate firewall on pc1. if it works now, enable incoming tcp traffic on port 80 (pc1), then switch on firewall again.
Thank you for the tipps.
I did a review of my settings and made sure that I had the following:
Open httpd.conf of Apache server (backup first) Look for the the following : Listen
Change the line to
Listen *:80
Listen 127.0.0.1:80
below that add your network ip:80 to listen to all inbound connections on that ip. Or set it to 0.0.0.0:80 to let it even listen on connections from outside your network.
Still in httpd.conf, look for the following (or similar):
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
Deny from all
</Directory>
Change this block to :
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
#Deny from all
</Directory>
in my configs. Now it works!
It may be possible. I will have a try and see if it works out.
