I have created a simple website whose url is localhost/drupal. But I couldn't access it from the internet. (i,e from another laptop connected to my home router). I have all settings in the httpd.conf file under Apache set correctly as instructed. i,e "Require all granted" is set. I use Apache 2.4.9 and Latest wamp. I.I use drupal 7.14.
I try to access the url by "internalIPaddress/drupal" i,e 192.168.2.10/drupal. also tried typing just 192.168.2.17 from the other laptop on my home network.nothing seems to workout.!! Pls assist.!!
How to access the site from outside the network.
Download and install ngrok. It's free.
Then, from your terminal (assuming your drupal site runs on port http://localhost:8888/).
$ ngrok 8888
ngrok will assign you a subdomain for you. Open the url, and you are good to go.
You can also sign up for free to be able to choose a name for your subdomain.
$ ngrok -subdomain=mysubdomain 8888 # ngrok will assign you http://mysubdomain.ngrok.com/
As of ngrok 2, you need to type http PORT_NUMBER
$ ngrok http 8888
OR
$ ngrok http -subdomain=mysubdomain 8888
