Change WAMP server url on LAN


I'm creating a web system for our network. I can successfully access the server using the computer name plus the port number. Is it possible of I mask the url and change it to something easier to type?


Solution

  • If you are simply accessing it from one computer, you can always modify the local host file and put in a URL that you want to access the server with.
    If many computer need to access it, you may need a dns server in your network to manage that. There are also freedns solutions for you: http://freedns.afraid.org/ and this would work fine if your server has a static IP or you can use NAT in your router.
