Hi everyone,

I would like to install a basic PHP Intranet at work with a MySQL Database.

I managed to install the website on the main Server (Windows Server 2008),

I can access the website via "http://localhost/" and "http://127.0.0.1"

but I can't access this website from my other work computers on the same network.

All my company computers are connected through a LAN network.

How can I make the website accessible to all computers connected to the network?

Thanks

You need to asign a Host header to the website, so the server knows to what host header to listen to and to which site to redirect. You can host multiple sites on one server and with Host headers you determine which site to load on which url

example: http://192.168.1.10/ or http://intranet.companydomain.com/

I'm using Apache on XAMPP (but I can use IIS if you think it'll be easier)

Can you give me more details about the "Host header"... I don't know what it means

I tried to access the IP of of the server http://192.168.1.10/

but I receive a 404 page error

It's because of this error that I ask for your help

Remove XAMPP from the production server. Just use IIS. PHP + IIS is fine. http://www.microsoft.com/web/platform/phponwindows.aspx

IIS + PHP will be easier to share on the internal server than using XAMPP?

This link you provided me is excellent!! :)

Yes. XAMPP on a production server is not acceptable. It's fine if you need something quick and dirty on your development machine, but you need to know how to maintain and manage Apache, PHP, mods, database (mysql), and security, individually when working in a production environment. Over the course of the machine's lifetime, something will break, and you'll need to know how to support it.

IIS 7 (the version on Windows Server 2008) is very powerful. Microsoft has worked with the PHP project directly to make sure PHP works well under IIS 7.

      My kid tried, so I took her to Microcenter and showed her the differences in price as well as storage and specs. We bought a Windows machine. She loves it, and is off to college this fall with her gaming level windows laptop at the price of a Mac that came with a 512GB SSD, and half the RAM.

    • You will soon have fewer reasons to open Control Panel in Windows 11

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      99% of Control Panel will be moved to Settings. Then by 2050, 20% of settings will have been moved to the Configuration Menu. I have no issues with Settings as it exists now in Windows 11. Bring everything over and be done with it.

      We collect the few carcasses we get (as long as drivers report them, as they should) and while we have our fair share, we don't have nearly enough crashes with deer "to paint the roads with deer carcasses" in Finland. Also, if you can't handle the risks, DO NOT DRIVE. I really don't want everything to be so simple and stupid, that I don't have to worry about my surroundings (I also hate Apple devices because they kind of decide everything for you and offer very little customization vs. Android). Most people probably encounter much higher risks and dangers in their daily jobs than they encounter on roads. Just a few weeks ago I twisted my anckle at work while walking and I haven't had even a near miss with an animal in traffic for many years despite driving something like 27000+ km/year (there were a couple of off years in there too) and seeing many deer, a few moose and many smaller creatures on the road. I find it extremely rare to have deer stumble directly in front of me - it happens, but in my opinion not nearly enough to warrant considering it super dangerous (I actually find it exhilarating when it does happen as it changes the daily commute and it actually requires me to stay focused). It is probably more common to have some idiot with their face glued to their phone wonder in front of you or a kid on an electric scooter disregard all traffic rules. Here in the Nordics we also have plenty of snow and that kind of f's up anything that relies on lines or other clear lane indicators. The one time I have (kind of) started raging while driving was when I had a loan car from service and it had lane guidance. That freaking thing basically felt like it wanted to hit every pothole and bump it could and I really, really freaking hated it (came close to ripping the whole steering wheel of, I tell you . Didn't feel safer at all, quite the contrary, and it distracted me from the road more than anything else I've driven before, constantly fighting that f'ing thing to go where I wanted it to go (no clear lines, a crack in the pavement, etc. and it became confused as hell and required more adjusting than any traditional car). Also noteworthy that globally the amount of people with driver's licenses is pretty low (like under 20 %), many countries have great public transport systems and many walk and cycle (even during the winter).
