Hosting a PHP webpage in wireless LAN

Question

I made an web application using PHP and mySQL and i used XAMPP. I am on a LAN having 6 computers connected via wireless connection. I want to host my web application from my pc so that other pc can use that application.

Can you help me what to configure how to configure in my pc so that using just a single URL other computers can use my web application.

Thanks

I also recommend to have a look in httpd.conf. It might only listen to localhost. — user3606329, Dec 28 '16 at 10:17

On other computers you can just type the local IP of the PC that hosts the website in the browser URL field.

Check your IP Address is pinging or not from client pc. If ping is ping server IP then move to step two.

command> ping #Server ip address
Go to your XAMPP control panel find config button in the row of xampp and click to httpd.conf file

Search line which look like

 <Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
   AllowOverride All
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
 </Directory>

Restart all services from XAMPP control panel

It worked.. Thanks. First I changed the localhost to my server ip in the httpd.conf file , then i allowed the firewall as public. — Sourajit Roy Chowdhury, Dec 29 '16 at 08:43
