   Hello

   I am a real newbie and maybe my question sounds strange a little bit ...

   I don't want to publish on an Internet site, I only want to provide a site on our local server system:

   "\\mydomain\myshare\myblog.htm"

   Is this possible?

   Pick your poison with one of the link in Installing WordPress, Installing WordPress Locally.

   Not in the way you think about it... What you seem to refer to is called "static content". WordPress, however, generates content dynamically, but retrieving it from a database.

   You absolutely can run WordPress on a local network, but you need an HTTP server with PHP support and a MySQL database server (both servers, needless to say, can run on the same physical machine). In terms of your example, you can't run WordPress on \\mydomain\myshare\myblog.htm, but you definitely can run it on http://mydomain/myshare/...

   Thanks to both of you. I will think about it.

   Hello

   I got it working on my local PC with the usage of XamppLite (see advice from MichaelH) for my own use.

   For testing with 2 or 3 colleagues I want to "open it" for them.
   They work in my company (in the same room), share the same filesystem, same network and I can open my local drives for them.

   Is it possible that they use my testblog (watching and using the widgets is important; writing comments or new articles is not important.)

   Thanks

   Peter

   It is already open, unless your firewall blocks it. Just have your colleagues type http://yourcomputername/ (where yourcomputername is your computer's network name) into their Web browsers. They can also use your computer's IP address, for example, http://192.168.1.123/

   http://yourcomputername/ ...

   No subdirectories like /wordpress or /localhost/wordpress?

   I increased php and sql security due to the information the xampp-security-status gave me. Is this a problem?

   Every computer in the world "thinks" of localhost as of itself. So, if the blog url is set to localhost - it is viewable ONLY from your computer.

    OK, thanks.

    But "NC@WP" wrote above that it is possible to view it in a local network. What I have to do now? Edit the wp-config.php from "localhost" to i.e. "d:\test\wordpress"?

    No. That's for the DATABASE server - if you read it carefully!

    Hello

    I still have problems to see where I have to set "localhost" and where the IP "123.45.67.89" (database config? wordpress config? adress in Webbrowser ? ???)
