I have set up a web server in my Windows 7 with easyPHP. The website works fine when I browse the locally via localhost or 127.0.0.1. But, unable to open the site from another computer which is in the same LAN or in connected to my LAN. My local IP is in the 10.x.x.x range.

The firewall turned off on my private network.

I've also tried by changing Listen 127.0.0.1:80 to Listen 80 In httpd.conf but still i'm unable to access the media wiki from other machines.

Unable to browse the pages from other machines using localhost or using IP address (Ex: 10.x.x.x).

Could you please let me know your suggestions and comments?

Solution on the internet told to uncomment this line:

Listen 127.0.0.1:80

From the apache configuration (apache.conf or httpd.conf).

Or better put your own IP instead of 127.0.0.1.

edit:

You can change the :80 by the port you want: :8089. Be sure to also check virtual host, like:

<VirtualHost *:80>

Changed to

<VirtualHost *:8089>

Did you restart apache after each test? Whih error, 403, 404 ? – j0k Aug 6 '12 at 12:17
Yes. Is it possible to give the port something different as 8089 and fix the problem? please suggest me the steps. – Kathiresan Jeyapandian Aug 6 '12 at 12:21
