Viewing localhost on another computer

[rebekah]

I accomplished this by using my own particular computer's IP address.
(http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...t=85361&page=3)

Hold down the Windows key and hit 'R'. That will bring up the Run window.
Type in cmd and hit enter. That will bring up the Command Window.
Type in ipconfig and hit enter. This will put some information on the screen which includes your own internal IP address on your home network. It will probably be something like 192.168.1.101 or similar.

Try using your own IP in the two config files of ZenCart like this:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://192.168.1.101');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://192.168.1.101');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://192.168.1.101');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://192.168.1.101');

I am able to login to the Admin and see the shop from any computer on my home network using this method.

Hope that helps.

I have xampp (portable edition) installed on a flash drive and also an external harddrive. That way you can put it into any computer and view your site.
The only thing you need to watch is that the drive name stays constant across computers. If you install it, and it is 'E:', then put it into another computer where it is 'D:' it seems to cause problems.

Doesn't really answer your question, but might be another option.
