wamp本地ip添加本地域名

Question

Ok, I have Wamp on my laptop up and running. I also configured it to be visible on all the devices in my local network, so that I could connect to it on my Phone and other laptops.

I have created a virtual host via wamp tools (Add a Virtual Host) named myexample.etc and it works from the laptop where I am running wamp (the server, let's say). But it doesn't work from other devices connected to the same network. It only works by typing the IP, not by typing the dns created.

Is it possible to do something to access this dns (virtual host) created from other devices in the same network?

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

I assume you do not actually have a DNS Server running.

So when you say DNS, you mean you change the HOSTS file on the PC running WAMPServer.

This works by seeding the DNSCache on that PC at boot time, it does not and cannot have any effect on any other device in your local network. So there are basically 2 ways to access your website running on WAMPServer.

1. You amend all the other PC's HOSTS file and add something like this, assuming the WAMPServer PC is on IP Address 192.168.1.10

    192.168.1.10 myexample.etc

If you cannot access the HOSTS file on all the other devices such as phones and tablets that have not been jailbroken

2. Access the site by the IP Address of the PC running WAMPServer, I wrote up a way of doing that on another question, so here is the link
