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

In your httpd conf make sure you have   Listen   80   And if you are using VirtualHosts then set them as given below   NameVirtualHost    lt VirtualHost   gt          lt  VirtualHost gt

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