while running asp.net application locally, the domain name shows ‘http://localhost:50984/application1/‘
Can I change ‘localhost’ to ‘abcd’? if yes how?
how can this application be made available through network to other computers?
(I am using Visual Web Developer 2010 Express, windows 7) (I found some similar kind of questions like change localhost domain when running locally but didn’t find any way to implement)
Open up your hosts file and modify ‘localhost’ to ‘abcd’, which is located at
C:\Windows\System 32\drivers\etc\hosts(you’ll have to open with notepad).In order allow your application to be accessed on other computers you’ll have to host it somewhere. This usually means within IIS because as far as I know this isn’t currently possible with the local server provided with Web Developer 2010 Express.
