Using Apache As Server In A Local Area Network (LAN)

Let's said, you have set up server for LAN usage only. If you have ever come across to a page stating "Could not connect to remote server" or alike, can try out this solution.

1. Open the apache configuration file, httpd.conf.
2. Go to the section that configure the ip address.
3. Make sure it listen to the server's ip (not 127.0.0.1)
eg. Server's ip is 192.168.x.x using port 80, the make sure you have the following line :

Listen 192.168.x.x:80
