You cannot use localhost as part of your site url if you want to be able to access the site from other computers in your local network. Every computer defines itself as localhost. You need to use an internal domain name.
ok thanks, please give me a sample, or how can i do it
You need to change the site urls. See Changing_The_Site_URL for details of how to do this correctly.
thanks for your help again
believe me if i told you i did not understand,
lets say i want to change the localhost into agpc1
what are the steps please
thanks
Please see the link I posted above.
i tried this
define(‘WP_HOME’,’http://agpc:13958′);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’http://agpc:13958′);
but did not work,
forgive me i am not such a clever person in that, just i need your help,
i tried to understand that link,
but could not, since it is my first time installing it on my pc and trying accessing it from other pcs.
i used the windows firewall method inbound and outbound ports stuff
and still no result
thanks for your help
Have you set up that agpc domain on your server as part of its configuration?
no how do i do that?
thanks
Try asking on a forum dedicated to your server software.
i am installing it locally on my pc not web hosted server
Yes – I am aware of that. Which is why you need to ask for advice on how to set up your local server correctly.
You are using WebMatrix which has IIS express bundled and I believe it only allows localhost connections. You need to setup a ‘real’ web server to allow conections from other computers. You can try XAMPP or WAMP but they are linux based 🙂 You can also try Mongoose
You could also setup Windows Server 2012 which has IIS 8 packaged.
Like esmi said, you basically are trying to setup a new web server (at least that is what is needed at this point).
thanks i just wanted to know why i can not read it from other pc, but i have seen it before a month ago at my friend’s company they installed it on a normal windows 7 platform using web matrix ,
