Server
in httpd.conf
under ServerName localhost add;
ServerAlias server1
For Vista, 2008 & Win7 (not needed on XP or 2003)
right click on the Wordpad (or your favorite text editor) icon and chose "Run as Administrator"
Open file c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts <- no file extension
Add to the file the save:
127.0.0.1 server1
Other computer
Open file c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
Add to the file then save:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx server1
[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx should be the LAN IP of the server machine]
Now, from either computer
http://server1
Will show you what you want to see |

Hi Glsmith,
Thank you for your information.
I have one computer with windows7 and another computer with Linux OS. I want to configure the webserver on Windows OS, Later I want it to use the webserver access from Linux OS.
If I configue the webserver as you mentioned, then is it possible to access the webserver from linux machine to windows machine?.
Thank you |

sure, it's over TCP and both are on the same LAN yes?
Linux has a hosts file as well, I cannot point you to where it is however. |

In 99,8% it is /etc/hosts. The syntax is the same as for windows. |
