richy Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Hi all! This is my first post, so hello to everyone! I am trying to get my other computer up and running with apache. (this one runs on ME and apache doesn't work at all on it-barely anything does!) My other computer runs on XP.It is not at the moment connected to the internet and I am in the process of trying to install Apache on it, just to use as a local server for my PHP experiments. I don't mind going through the pain of installation and troubleshooting, but I don't want to do it if it is in fact not possible to start with! So, hopefully, this is a very simple 'yes/no' answer! thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 No, Apache does not require an internet connection if you are developing PHP locally. When you want to access Apache you type in http://localhost/ You only need an internet connection if you plan on hosting a website from your computer. Not when you accessing it locally.
