I've been trying to a website following this Build a LAMP Web Server with WordPress guideline. After completing the "WordPress configuration," the WordPress turn out fine on the local host but not another computer on the same network. Image provided.
Anything help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Hope! You are accessing wordpress project with
http://localhost/wordpress-project/
And while accessing on other computer under same LAN. If you are trying to access with localhost that will not work. Because apache will look this request locally.
And if you are trying to access this with the LAN computer name/IP. like
http://192.168.0.106/wordpress-project/
OR
http://mycomputer1/wordpress-project/
Then you need to change the siteurl & home value in wordpress-project DB table named wp_options from localhost to desired.
If you are accessing with computer name then you may need to set virtual host for that on mycomputer1 PC

I'am new to the WordPress and I created WordPress website and configure it within the Wamp Server. The site displays all it's contains locally correctly. Now I want to access that website from the another machine within same network but it did not display all the contents correctly. it displays only the text. no images and the applied theme is not displays. I turn off the firewall and change the Apache configuration file (httpd.config) as follows. but it also didn't work properly. please help me.
Order allow, deny
Allow from all
The problem is that you specify during install that the hostname of the site is "localhost". Unofrtunately when you connect from another computer the link to "localhost" refers to the pc you are connecting from and since in this pc there isn't any server runnin,g you see only the text and not the images or the css.
The solution is to modify the wp-config.php wordpress file and change this from:
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
to:
define('DB_HOST', '192.168.0.4');
The problem is with URL of the site. You need to update the URL in database and replace localhost with IP of your machine using phpmyadmin and then that site will be accessible from other machines in your network. Please try this and it will solve your problem.
This is a WordPress oddity. When you install WP on localhost, or anywhere, it stores the url used in the install in its database. It then uses this url internally in its code to build links etc.
So when you come to run this site from another PC, things like image links will be built with the url localhost or localhost/wordpress.
Now when you run this from another PC using a different URL like 192.168.0.4/wordpress localhost will still appear in the links and of course there is no localhost on the client PC. So the links dont work. Its a bit like you have moved your site to a new url, but WP does not know about it.
Read this post on the WP Codex to work out what you need to so to amend the urls in the database. OF course this means you wont be able to use localhost anymore on the WAMPServer machine either.
Please help me. I have a wordpress website running on apache xampp server on windows server 2012 R2. It works perfectly on web server when i set site url settings in wordpress to https://localhost.
When i try to access it using Web server ip on other online systems. images and css files does not load , links does not work. So i change Wordpress Site url setting to https:// and it works on other computers. But now it is not accessible on web server.
Kindly help if anyone knows, how is it possible by keeping https://localhost under wordpress site settings and make it accessible to others systems on internet. I want to make it accessible online and on our web server (Localhost).
I do not know properly, but is it possible to bind ip address with apache, so it may work online as well as locally using localhost.
Thanks
I have wordpress installed and running in my local machine with Windows and Xampp server. I want to access my site from all machines within my network. I have copied all the files with database dump, but it's not working. Posts, pages, plugins nothing are displaying.
I am new to wordpress, any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
If your local Wordpress installation (running on 127.0.0.1) work, is not necessary any modifications.
Just access from computers on LAN with ip machine
192.168.0.1/wordpress <- IP of XAMPP PC.
I'm trying to set up a wordpress blog hosted from my computer using this tutorial. When I visit the site on the computer it's hosted on, via localhost or the IP of the computer, the site looks fine, but when I visit it from another computer it looks like this.
All Wordpress resources (stylesheets and images at least) use Wordpress' URL configuration. You can find it as the 3rd option down in the General Configuration page of your Admin. This is due to the way that themes are to be programmed and create the header of the blog using the bloginfo function that uses those configuration values to generate the rest of them
What is probably happening is that such URL is using either localhost or 127.0.0.1. If that is the case, when accessing the blog from your own PC it would show fine as both do resolve to the local machine. If you access it from an external PC, they would not resolve to the PC that is serving Wordpress but also to the local PC - which is not able to provide them.
I build a webisite with wordpress and i want to show my website to other client computers
I run xampp server at server computer
How can i do for that?
plz answer quickly..**
Assuming the web server is accessible from the client's computer, you'll need to give connect from the client using the machine's IP address or hostname.
You will have to use a dynamic hostname, dyndns offers them.
Or put xampp it in sync folder of Dropbox. I'm using it like that. Synced from home, then when i open it from work, i got it there too.
