How can I host TestLink on local LAN

[mukul]

Hello,

I've successfully installed and configured TestLink 1.8.1 for my system (localhost).

I want my teammates(testers) to have access to it. We all are in the same LAN (192.168.20.xxx). But we get dynamic IP.

What changes do I need to make so that they can access it??


Thanks
Mukul

[fman]

server can not have dynamic IP

[mukul]

OK.
If I assign my machine a static IP, (lets say 192.168.20.120) then where and what changes do I need to make?

Thanks for a quick response.

is better if you have a DNS, then assign a name to this address, then nothing more need to be done

Sorry to bug you again
DNS is not possible. We are having a small office so network infrastructure is limited to DHCP only. (Oops! I think DNS can be implemented using softwares only. But this is not my 1st preference, I will look into it later)
Any other option? FYI I am working on Debian Lenny OS and using TestLink 1.8.1

Let me know if (later, after resolving this) you want me to update all this in installation manual too.

thanks man!
it worked for me too. But I am not sure if its a reliable solution or not. For the time being it'll do.

I tried but mine is not connecting, it says:

"Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /testlink/login.php on this server."

I'm running Teslink on WAMP.

I'm a newbie, so I'm pretty sure the solution to this may just be a configuration somewhere... can you tell me where/how/why?

Thanks

Hi maorazon,

I think you forgot to change the permission of files/folders.
I once faced the same issue on LAMP. In WAMP, it coulod be b'coz of permission or sharing restrictions.

Also, I would recommend wait for a month and try 1.9 to be released in Aug'09.

If you are using WampServer and want to give access to the Testlink server via intranet, just make sure that Wampserver is online.
You can this by
1. Left click the wampserver icon in the system pane
2. Verify the last option is showing as "Put Online" (If it is showing ) Put Offline, just click on it and it will change to online)

I did the same thing but nothing happens, could someone please help me?

The error is:
"404 Not Found
The requested URL /testlink/index.php was not found on this server."

PS: The Testlink directory is in the "wamp/www" directory, same place that Mantis is located (and Mantis is accessible).
