[users@httpd] web server on LAN
Is it possible to have another computer on my LAN at home access the web
server as an "intranet" service for development purposes if the Apache is
running on a workstation as opposed to a Server? The OS is Win2K w/SP4. If
someone does an http://127.0.0.1/, they currently don't see it. What do I
need to do if this is possible?
Thanks,
Richard

Yes - that is indeed working. Try changing DirectoryIndex from:
DirectoryIndex at_domains_index.html index.html index.html.var
index.shtml index.cfm index.htm home.htm index.php --- Index.shtml
Index.cfm Index.htm Home.htm Index.php
to:
DirectoryIndex at_domains_index.html index.html index.html.var
index.shtml index.cfm index.htm home.htm index.php Index.shtml
Index.cfm Index.htm Home.htm Index.php
Note the three dashes have been removed.
Best 'o' luck,
Gene

I'm not sure permissions is the problem (unless it's the cfmdate
directory) since asking for the specific file ('index.cfm') works. I
tend to go along with the '---' in the middle of the line theory. A
simple check - does a file named 'index.html' in the same directory work?

What is the "---" doing in the middle there?
Anyway, the page is currently giving a "forbidden" error, which means
some kind of permissions problem. Start by checking your apache error
log.

The problem is appearantly in the ip-address: 127.0.0.1 or "localhost" is
the loopback address.
It means "this computer" and it means "this computer" on every computer...
So find out the real ip-addresses of the machines on your lan (type
"ipconfig" in a dos box on your win2k). Probably the addresses will be
something like 10.x.x.x, 172.[16-31].x.x or 192.168.x.x. Those ranges are
not in use on the global internet, they are reserved to use on a lan.
But there is more: typing something like http://172.18.27.64/ in your
browser all the time isn't really appealing, is it? And the number will
change over time.
If your lan is connected to the internet using a broadband router, there is
probably a tiny DNS-server running in that router. Now change the
windows-assigned hostname of your intranet-webhost into something decent
(property sheet of "this computer" on win2k). The DNS server in your
broadband router will take care of the rest (that is: if DHCP is enabled,
which usually is the case).
Try changing the hostname of your server into "www" and reboot, go to
another machine on the lan and type http://www/ (or even just "www") into a
browser. If this works there's no need to find out the ip-addresses first.
