Please reformulate your question  Your first sentence does not make sense     To address your question   http   ip of server  should work in principle  However  depending on configuration  virtual hosting  only using the correct host name may work   At any rate  if you have a network  you should properly configure DNS  otherwise all kinds of problems  such as this  may occur

Your firewall does not allow any new connection to share information without your consent  ONLY thing to do is give your consent to your firewall    Go to Firewall settings in Control Panel Click on Advanced Settings Click on Inbound Rules and Add a new rule  Choose  Type Of Rule  to Port  Allow this for All Programs  Allow this rule to be applied on all Profiles i e  Domain  Private  Public  Give this rule any name    That s it  Now another PC and mobiles connected on the same network can access the local sites  Lets Start Development

if you did change the httpd conf file located under conf files folder  don t use windows notepad  you need a unix text editor  try TED pad  after making any changes to your httpd conf file save it  ps  if you use a dos windows editor you will end up with an  Error in Apache file changed  message  so do be careful     Salam

You might also want to check your server configuration - sometimes the default for development type servers is to only accept connections from localhost

I was trying to access my localhost website  on my pc  from my mobile  andriod   The configuration is like Windows 10  WAMP 2 4 23  PHP Website and my mobile was running on andriod  Both my mobile and pc are connected to same wifi   I was able to open my website on my pc by using url http   localhost mysite or http   127 0 0 1 mysite  My pc ip was 192 168 0 1  say  and my mobile ip was 192 168 0 2  say  and both connected on same wifi   I tried all the setting like changing the httpd conf  httpd-vhosts conf only to find that all I need was to disable my firewall  Of course  disabling the firewall completely is not a good idea  I have avast antivirus running on my pc  If I check the firewall log for last one hour  or so  I can see that attempt has been made by my mobile ip to connect to website running on my pc  All it required was to add an exception by creating a new rule in avast UI which will allow connections from my mobile ip   Hope this helps someone
