Using Mac to host a WordPress site over LAN for all other computers to access
Does anyone know of an Apple support document, or other, that helps Mac owners connect to another Mac, functioning as a dev server, over LAN, to develop WordPress sites that are accessible by Macs / PCs / iPhones / iPads / etc. that are all on the same LAN?
I've been searching for a good walk-through for this, but no luck searching Google.
This article come close [not from Apple.com]:
How to install a WordPress development environment on a Mac
- It uses the MAMP bundle to broadcast the site over the computer's IP address (http://192.168.1.XX:8888/wordpress/index.php), but this does not allow for accessing the WP admin login - (http://192.168.1.XX:8888/wordpress/wp-admin).
- Not sure what's preventing the admin page from loading, but I can access the front-end site (http://192.168.1.XX:8888/wordpress/index.php), yet no images load.
- http://localhost:8888/wordpress/wp-admin/ works from Safari on the computer hosting the site
I want to be able to access the wp-admin from my other Mac or my PC or my iPhone or iPad to test the site in a LAN environment.
My hunch is I need to configure my firewall settings or make adjustments to permissions for certain files, but from there I'm lost.
