XAMPP-Project not working on different computers

Question

So, I Have REST URL to register like this :

http://localhost:8080/task_manager/v1/register

And then, I try the URL in Google Chrome Advanced Rest Client. Everything goes smoothly.

And now I decided to test the URL on another computer. So I copy paste the file to another computer and test the URL once again.

But the result is I got 404 ERROR, Object not found.

Did I hit something wrong ? I copy all the file correctly. This is weird.

UPDATE : I use all the folder which contains all the files and I using same version of XAMPP & PHP on that both computers

Answer 1

Localhost targets on your computer, means the actual machine the files are on. If you are using php > 5.3 you can use php's build in development server with

php -S __YOUR LOCAL IP__ : 8000

and access the site from all the computers within your network

For example, if you run

php -S 192.168.0.1:8000

on your development machine, you can access it via

http://192.168.0.1:8000/ 

from every device connected to your local network

As you have written in your comment you have copied all the files, it is most likely that you either don't have php, apache or a webserver (MAMP,WAMP,...) installed (or started) on the other machine, or you just didn't copy the files to the correct folder.

Answer 2

an url beginning with localhost refers to the computer where it's called from. See wikipedia localhost .

To provide the same behavior on another computer you need to copy the whole project and install the used server software eg apache, mysql etc. pp. or access the project from another computer in the same network using the internal network IP instead of localhost.

FYI: localhost is almost the same like the loop-IP 127.0.0.127

so on the computer where it works there should also work: http://127.0.0.127:8080/task_manager/v1/register Now replace the 127.0.0.127 with the IP of your computer when testing it on another computer
