htdocs

Hello:

I have just setup Apache, PHP, and MySQL on Windows XP. Is there anyway that I could let someone else access my my htdocs via my IP Address?

Any help would be great!

Thanks.

RE: htdocs

First thing you need to do is create a user for the person. Head into the control panel go into users and add a user with the username and password you want to give this person.

Then, right click on the htdocs folder, go to sharing and security. Choose to share the folder and give it a share name. Then go into the permissions and add that user in there with the access you want to give them. I would also remove the everyone access...

RE: htdocs

Ok, I get that now. But when I try it out for myself I get a "TCP_ERROR".

Any ideas?

RE: htdocs

Do you want the person to access the windows folder with the code in (So they can see/edit the code) or the actual webserver (as in port 80)?

RE: htdocs

The easyest way is to setup a web server IIS or Apache. Also if people were unable to connect via share it is possible that some ISP's block certain ports for security reasions. You might want to call them to check if they are blocking any ports.

RE: htdocs

# <Directory "/etc/httpd/htdocs/manual">
# Options Indexes FollowSymlinks MultiViews
# AllowOverride None
# Order allow,deny
# Allow from all
# </Directory>

It is all in the Allow from in the <Directory> directives, you could for instance use
Allow from localhost
or
Allow from 192.168.0
or
Allow from all << then set up a .htaccess for authentication to limit to a user pass access.
