cleary1981 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hi, I have made a small application for use on my network. I have set one machine up as an apache server using WAMP2. I developed the application on this machine and it works fine. The problem I a have is when using the application from another machine on the network I am having trouble. It is only with certain buttons that lead to a php page. It says unknown file type and gives the options to find a program on the web or save the file when it should open the page. Do all computers need php installed or could this be a rights issue?

Mark Baker Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Do all computers need php installed or could this be a rights issue?Only the web server needs PHP installed. It's almost certainly a rights issue. Does your server permit connections from other network boxes, or only from localhost?

Mark Baker Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 How are you trying to access the page? By IP? hostname? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/136664-php-application-over-lan/#findComment-713793 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mchl Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 WampServer has to be put "online" so that it can be accessed from other computers. If you see a padlock icon on your WampServer systray icon, it means the server is only accessible from localhost.
