Hi All,
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I have to ask!

I have Apache installed and run PHP & MySQL fine.
This is just a local testing server before I send my code into the big bad world.
I have a small office network now. I can view files in shared folders between each computer.
Can I use the server on this computer from the others?
In other words the server is on computer A, from computer B can I 1) View computer A's web pages 2) View computer B's web pages.

Many Thanks for any comments/help

Al

Should be accessible as long as port 80 is open on the server. If you don't have a firewall installed it should be ok. Just type in the IP adress of the server on the other computer.

If this is on a windows xp machine then the windows firewall may be on and blocking access to the server by default.

Thanks a million
