nitation Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I was approached to develop an intranet website using php. My question is; * An intranet can only be viewed by users within a network, how do i go about this? Do i limit application (website) by an IP? Do i need to host the website on a live server.(i.e, buying domain + hosting) * Also, I was asked to make the pages portlet. What must be done here? Note, i can develop the project on my own. All am asking for is the above question. Thanks in advance Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/127829-intranet-in-php/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 The intranet side of things shouldn't have anything to do with the php application itself. it will simply be hosted on an internal network. No you do not need a host / public domain. As for a portlet? You might want to ask the client what they meen exactly. This could meen many things. I've built a few intranet applications and the client generally wants to have access to company files (HR, OHS procedures etc etc) through the site. Maybe this is what they meen.

nitation Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 @Thorpe I have developed a website, and i want that website to be viewed within my company alone. How do i then setup the internal network. The only network running in this company is our internet access, file sharing, printer & faxes. I have also developed the website using; PHP/MYSQL, HTML, Javascript and Ajax. Do i need to contact a network assistance to set this intranet up or it can be done by a developer?

trq Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Do i need to contact a network assistance to set this intranet up or it can be done by a developer? Depends what you know I guess. If you already have a server serving a publicly accessible site from within your network you can simply setup another virtualhost for the intranet and deny request from public ip addresses. This really isn't php related. I would suggest if you have further questions to post them in the appropriate server administration board.

Bendude14 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 do you have a local server that the site is going to be held on? if so you will need to point all your machines DNS through this server which will attempt to translate the hostname first enabling you to have mycompany.work as the intranet domain etc... the other option is to add a line in the host files for each individual machine (only for smaller businesses) to redirect your intranet domain to the ip-address of the server machine.. This will only be able to be seen unless you allow http connections in your router and redirect them to the server machine...

nitation Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 When you talking about local server, i believe you meant Apache Xampp. If yes, then i do. Also, i am looking at an intranet that can work for a large company. In fact, it's a Governmental organization. There is a head office, and branches all over the country. How do intranet work in this regard?? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/127829-intranet-in-php/#findComment-661799 Share on other sites More sharing options...
