hello,
I have win NT 4 on my intranet server. I would like to set on it a www server up. I succesfully installed SWAMP (apache, mysql, php all in one for NT),but it only runs on the server as localhost. I would like to access this also from other comps in the intranet (6 PCs). There is enabled TCP/IP protocol on the winNT4, but how to configure it? Then how to access it from some other PC in the intranet, what address should I type in?? It cant be 127.0.0.1 - It is just for localhosts...


I want to install XOOPS on the server and view it from other comps, it doesnt have to be secure or what, it is not connected to the internet.

PLS help me out with this one, I am totaly lost

You will probably have to look up your httpd.conf in the apache/conf folder. There, find the servername, and change that from localhost to what the server is called in the network. If the server doesn't have a name, use the IP address.

Also, make sure that there isn't a line like this in the httpd.conf file:
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1

Make sure it is set to
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all

That way, other computers will be able to access the server. If ther eis no such thing in the httpd.conf file, make sure there isn't a .htaccess file with those lines in it.

I hope this helps.

Just use the IP of the server to access it from the other servers.

You can also add an entry to every 'hosts' file on all of the other pc´s as it aren´t so many like this with the ip and the name it should be associated with.

Thus it should not be neccessary to alter config files if i read it correctly.
