Hey Guys,
Every new comer web developer must have thought about Changing localhost to a Domain Name while working on websites locally.
Especially while working on Wordpress websites. It becomes easy while moving website from local server to live server if we already have domain name in database as we want.
So, Here is easy way to do it.
Happy Coding :)
Thnx,
The Next Code

I have changed port 80 to 8080 and how could I add the port on configuration rather than url?

@TheNextCode 2 года назад

Yes, it will only work in our local computer. it's only for development purpose. If you want to make it online, you will need to host the website on servers like aws, digital ocean or Google clouds etc.

hi, thanks for the video. I'm building a website for Local Area Network only, can it be accessed from LAN?

@TheNextCode 5 лет назад

Yes, It can be accessed from LAN, other computers in LAN will need to add a host entry of the computer where website is hosted. Read about it on support.rackspace.com/how-to/modify-your-hosts-file/ :)

@TheNextCode 5 лет назад

Hi @Armad You will need to add one host entry in your pc's hosts file where you want to open the url. To with that here's the small article: support.rackspace.com/how-to/modify-your-hosts-file/

i use apache but i don't mess around with the settings and it makes everything work fine but if you mess around with them without knowing what your doing well your on your own because the green light which usually appear when apache and mysql is on might not work

Hey, That makes sense, but if you never try, you'll never know :)

Sometimes mess around with things and learn.

IP address or Domain name are only ways.

@joegonzalez4343 6 лет назад

Hi. Great video man. Can we do this with online? Like a hosted WP site, then we do CLI-Commands? I've seen a plugin but I'm hoping we can do it remotely?

@TheNextCode 6 лет назад

We can do this online. but we need to add our domain name entry to our local computer's hosts file like this: 193.12.34.21 domainname.com put your remote IP instead of mine.

Yes, seems like you missed something. Can you share screenshots of changes you did?

@stickster44 5 лет назад

Great tip bro. I might add that if you're using mysql with your php code, don't forget to change the login credentials to your new localhost pseudo name. I keep my login credentials in one file and then include for each php script that needs it.

Check the apache error log for exact reason of the refuse, coz changing vhoss file never affect apache's start process.

@TheNextCode 6 лет назад

Did you tried in another browser? Chrome usually caches the DNS details. Try in another browser and let me know.

@Valnuss 4 года назад

When you see a risk screen or something it could be due to https. Type instead and check if it works

@TheNextCode 7 месяцев назад

This usually happens when the vhosts file configuration has any issues, please cross check and try again

You can put it online, try some of these: www.google.com/search?q=how+to+host+a+website+on+own+computer&rlz=1C1CHBF_enIN816IN816&oq=how+to+host+a+website+on+com&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0l5.9137j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 But my intention was to make your development(local) work easy so that it's become easy to put the website online on server. :)
