Topic : Making AMPPS accessible around the office [OSX]

Posted By: mvaneijgen on February 7, 2016, 11:30 am

Is there a guide I can follow so that I can make my local web development accessible for my colleagues, so that we can work together on developing websites.

Right now I am running a installation of AMPPS for Wordpress development, but as soon as I want my colleagues to also thinker around in the development process I have to sync my work to a live staging server to work together. It would be nice that my `127.0.0.1/mysite` would be accessible within the network when my AMPPS is running.

Some time ago I did some Google searches and got it to work for about half way because of changing the IP address from my local to my computer IPs address, but seeing the redesigned interface of AMPPS with the new versions I thought maybe it has been made easier now.

Any tips or links to the right resources would be appreciated!

Me think the problem will be 'sharing' of the files etc.!

In fact, you would face problems if some other user try to open/edit the same file/script, you're working on, which would end up in a crash.

Maybe the use of a NAS Drive could solve that problem, if it's configured correctly! That procedure
--> Move to complete AMPPS Folder (Copy and Paste) from your local machine to the NAS
-->forward all required Ports in your Router to the NAS correctly

Done at the correct way, you should be able to access AMPPS via any Browser from any Machine on the same network, and also, if configured, from the WAN too!
