    Too bad that domain "ONLY" shows on the computer you have running xampp, hehehe, "old trick".



  11. Harley Lumagui on February 23, 2022 at 11:14 pm

    Can this be accessed in a network too?



  12. Testiva Dumatius on February 23, 2022 at 11:18 pm

    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.



  13. ydros69 on February 23, 2022 at 11:19 pm

    its work but the domain work only in our local computer any idea for working online?,

  23. Joe Gonzalez on February 23, 2022 at 11:36 pm

    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?



  24. Time Lords on February 23, 2022 at 11:36 pm

    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
