sorted out some issues, now need more help, domain works fine on server, cant access from lan (4 Replies, Read 2247 times)

Group: Member Post Group: Newbie Posts: 10 Status:	I am trying to set ampps up on a local lan with no internet service. I installed ampps and at first could only get it to work with ip number domains, then I figured out how to take ownership of the hosts file and got named domains (testing1.com) to work and display on the server. Thought I had it solved. But now if I enter an Ip domain (192.168.2.6) it works fine from other computers on the lan as long as the static ip of the server (192.168.2.6) is set to the same as the number domain, but if I enter one of the named domain (testing1.com) it does not come up. I get "server stopped responding" without loading the site. Do I need to set a static ip on the server? Does the dns on the router need a specific setting? Any help would be appreciated. I am self taught, so I am kind of weak in some areas here. Thanks

Add Code 192.168.2.6 testing1.com And yes, the server needs the static ip.

Don't have much idea about mobiles, but android has /system/etc/hosts file which can edited through root privileges.
