bumba000 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 As you may have gathered I would like to set up WAMP on my main PC(XP) and have access from my laptop(stinky VISTA). I'm getting pretty pumped about php but getting burned out on testing on my sites live server. Also a bit nervous about working so closely to my live and valuable DB. What will I need to do. I have tried this before and failed miserably. Also, I do hate Vista and am not much fonder of Toshiba. I do not recommend either. Thanks in advance.

trq Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 You simply need to install apache, php and mysql. if the computers are on the same network you shouldn't have any trouble accessing the server from either machine. If you havent setup apache,php and mysql before you might be better off installing a pre-configured package like XAMPP.

wildteen88 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Does both your XP desktop and VISTA laptop connect to a (wireless/wired) router? If so use your Desktops Internal LAN address (eg 192.168.2.101) on your vista laptop to connect ro your XP WAMP installation (eg http://192.168.2.101 rather then http://localhost). You may need to configure the firewall you use on XP to accept connections from your LAN Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/105462-solved-shared-wamp-server-on-1-xp-and-1-vista/#findComment-540209 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumba000 Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Thanks guys. I was just getting ready to ask about the IP where WAMP exists. So I tried http://192.168.1.102 Good news. Didn't get " cannot connect" I did get "you do not have permission to access / on this server" . What do I do now?
