Put a site online

  • Hello!

    i set up a site at my work. using WAMPSERVER and wordpress.
    i want to put it online. but not really on-line (on the internet)

    i want to put it online in my network (my work network – Locally..)

    is there a way to do it?

    right now.. in order to go inside the site i build i enter

    https://localhost/wordpress/

    from my computer.
    i want that people from my office. will be able to enter in their browser
    https://NAMEICHOOSEHERE
    and then the site will open for them
    and they can register like normal users
    (again.. all of this is happening locally.. without really going on-line the internet..)

    I am new in this. so thank you all for the help!

  • Does your computer have a FIXED IP (not changing every day) on the company’s local network ?

    If so, I suppose you just have to make sure the folder with wordpress belongs to the “shared on the network” folders, and give your collaborators your local IP followed by the subfolder path leading to wordpress…

    Hello,

    yes it has a FIXED IP.

    The folder IS shared.

    but when i open it in another browser (not my computer) it’s just opens a new window (not an explorer one) it’s a folder and it show’s me all of the files inside wordpress (it’s a folder view.. not thw browser itself)..

    you need to configure the webserver to listen on port 80 and respond. Sorry but I’m not familiar with WAMP. If it’s the same as LAMP then you have to modify apache configuration files. Perhaps someone else can help you with that.

    It has nothing to do with shared folders. You don’t need to share the folder. Also, enter https://<fixed IP>/subfolder into the browser address bar, not \\<fixed IP>/subfolder.

    OK. so i managed to make it work ! ??

    i had to change the WAMPSERVER to online!
    now when i open another browser (not my computer) and input in the address bar
    https://myFIXEDip/wordpress

    my site opens.

    but here is a strange thing.. there is no pictures.. and the site loads “in plain text” with no design like it is in my computer.
    another thing is that the loading time is very very slow…

    now i know my network is fast.. + it’s locally..
    something here is strange..
    Any ideas ? ??

    Thanks again.
