Setting up an "Intranet"

[X96 Web Design]

What I'm wanting to do, is set up a private server that only members of our network can access. I already have a working MySQL, PHP5, and Apache2 setup, and I can access http://localhost from my computer, but I can't access Localhost from any other computer on the network - just mine.

My question is - how do I set up a home server so that all the computers in my network can view the website? I don't want to put it on the web, just network-wide.

Is this possible? If so, how do I do it?

Thanks,

Set your port to 80, and put Wamp online. If that doesn't work, search google.

Is that just for Windows? I'm running Linux (Ubuntu 9.04)

There is an alternative, called XAMPP:

How do I configure LAMPP?

I downloaded extracted it, and now I'm sitting here in terminal not knowing what to do, when I try to run ./build.sh it just sits there, nothing happens, and when I go to start it it won't work...

I'm using sudo before everything to run it as root...

Going to test it now...

For some reason I uninstalled MySQL, but I need it back. It won't come back.

I used: sudo apt-get install mysql-server, and everything seems to work, then I get this:

* Reloading AppArmor profiles ... [ OK ]
* Starting MySQL database server mysqld [fail]
invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing mysql-server-5.0 (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mysql-server:
mysql-server depends on mysql-server-5.0; however:
Package mysql-server-5.0 is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing mysql-server (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.
Errors were encountered while processing:
mysql-server-5.0
mysql-server
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


Why is this happening? Do I need to remove something else first to make it work? It used to work, but then I stupidly uninstalled it...

Thanks,
