johndoh Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Hi there, I can't always get my laptop connected to the internet and I installed LAMP on it (using Ubuntu Hardy) in order to work on a web site that I was previously working on using WAMP. I got the whole thing working perfectly (so far) except for one thing (that was never a problem on Windows) - with the internet not connected, any attempt to access my web site on localhost shows this error: Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0 Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required '/home/john/public_html/index.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in Unknown on line When the laptop is connected to the internet, the web site is displayed correctly. I just want to be able to work on my web site offline. public_html is my localhost folder. Can anybody help me with this? Thanks a lot.

johndoh Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 Hi there, Cheers for the response. I tried it out and now instead of getting the php error stated above, Firefox gives me the generic Offline Mode screen that I would get with any other web page. I seem to have gone back a step...

Daniel0 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 In Firefox, click File and then uncheck "Work Offline". I don't even know why that feature is there, but when it's checked you cannot browse any pages. Or is that not the offline mode you are referring to?
