For the development purpose and Version control trade offs I use Virtual host on

  • 0

For the development purpose and Version control trade offs I use Virtual host on apache server. Now I have an installation of MedialWiki on my machine and I want MediaWiki to be accessed by all the users on an office LAN. But, even though I have enabled virtual host, LAN users can not access MediaWiki by my IP address and the folder name, i.e. http://192.168.1.10/mediawiki.

Is there any solution to this that i can use both a virtual host and localhost together or any other solutions are acceptable.

Waiting for your help.

Thank you.

    Having virtual hosts enabled doesn’t prevent people from accessing your server by IP, but it means you have to think about which <VirtualHost> they see.

    If you’re using name-based virtual hosting, requests that don’t match the name of any configured virtual host will be handled by the first virtual host defined in the configuration. You can define a VirtualHost> specifically for that purpose, and put MediaWiki there.

    See the paragraph titled “Main host goes away” in the Apache name-based virtual hosting documentation.
