ferdiek Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I working on a project with a client out of state. Although I have prestashop running great in my localhost, I wanted to be able to collaborate with the customer by making their site available at least during some demo as we continue with development. Is there a way to make prestashop available on the internet while it resides in my local host? BTW, I am using XAMPP on a Windows 7 environment. I am able to talk to apache over the internet but I can not seem to configure it so that it can recognize the prestahop instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomerg3 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Do you have a dedicated IP address? is it assign to your local computer, or are you behind a router? This really has nothing to do with Prestashop, it's more an issue of getting xampp on your local to be available on the web (for Prestashop or any other web page) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBaseball34 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 The fastest way to demo this is to load TeamViewer, have them download the TeamViewer client and connect to your machine and view the demo from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This really has nothing to do with Prestashop, it's more an issue of getting xampp on your local to be available on the web (for Prestashop or any other web page) I can access the basic index.html file in htdocs folder from the web. So I do know that port 80 is open and i have configured the router to send request to my local ip address. So that part seems to work. The request is going to apache and it is being served. However, what I want to do now is get prestashop available on the web as well. And again, I understand the risk, I intend to limit the access to the web site. It will be during demos and meetings only. My prestashop is in htdocs/prestashop. Using my statuc DNS, I just want my customer to type http://ipnumber/prestashop (whatever the appropriate address would be) to get to the prestashop instance that I can see very nicely through localhost/prestashop.
