easyphp / apache not able to connect to my dokuwiki with machines (virtuals and not virtual ones) on the same lan

I'm trying to setup a dokuwiki installed on an easyphp based on a windows distribution.

Nothing fancy so far

I can use the doku on my machine with the url http://192.168.2.14:888

Issue is I cannot access the wiki from another machine , virtual or not virtual one.

I thought it was an issue with the httpd.conf. I amended both part (see below)

<Directory "C:/Program Files (x86)/EasyPHP-Webserver-14.1b2/binaries/httpserver/cgi-bin">
    AllowOverride None
    Options None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

And also the second part

<Directory "C:/Program Files (x86)/EasyPHP-Webserver-14.1b2/modules">
    Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

I restarted the service and yet I still could not connect through any web browser with machines installed on my lan.

So I thought maybe it has something to do with the port

I did a netstat -a -n on the machine where I installed the easy php.

It seems to be listenning

enter image description here

I can ping 192.168.2.14 888 yet when I'm doing a telnet 192.168.2.14 888, I cannot connect.

So I disabled my firewall and still I cannot connect to my wiki through the web browser or telnet 192.168.2.14 888 it.

I do not have any more clues to where look at.

Any leads that will help me solve this issue , are more than welcomed.

Thanks

Update : I've done these steps since talking to Omar yesterday eve

  • Change to Listen 888

  • Change Order allow,deny Allow from all to just Require all granted

Solution

  • I hate to say it but using easy php , for a prototype usable by more than one machine on the same lan, is a real pain.

    This is my way to have a quick dokuwiki prototype usable by all the availables machine on your lan:

    • Install a linux virtual machine on your laptop (ubuntu server in my case)
    • Install apache2, php5 & libapache2-mod-php5
    • Restart the apache2 service
    • Copy your Doku folder in the folder html

    And done. You can use your dokuwiki

    Forget about easyphp and the likes
