Hi. I downloaded lampp and I need it to be only available over my network, but I can't access it. How can I do it? I've searched in the forum, but I didn't find an answer.

Hi brunomiguel,

so, just to review your problem.

you installed xampp on your linux machine and started it also yes?

you want to access xampp only over your lan ip.

which means on 192.168.1.50 and not on the internet ip 212.227.33.44 did i get you right?

Yes, I have installed xampp. And yes, I only want to enable access in my lan.

I just found the problem. I'm using a proxy and, although I had defined my lan ip range not to use the proxy, in firefox, it was using it...
I had 192.168.1.0/255 but, when I changed it to 192.168.1.0/200, it worked.
It's probably a bug in Firefox.

Thanks for the help!

I think you mean 192.168.1.0/24.

Nop. I really mean 192.168.1.0/255. Since I changed it to 192.168.1.0/200, it worked

255 (or 200) is not a valid value for the netmask in CIDR notation.

I believe you. But it's working with 200

That only seems so.

Thus I think, it's nevertheless a good idea to make it correct.
