I want to use xampp as a server (not local server but more like a server with a dedicated ip.) Can xampp be used for a server besides local? Maybe I'm just thinking backwards.
If You have Windows server, it is good option but if You are on Linux, it's not the best idea.

I've worked on my web app and now it's ready to go on production. For developmnent I used XAMPP on my local machine. I need to deploy the app on a Windows Server 2016 in which other people have access to.
So let's start with some question for you!
1:
I suppose that using XAMPP is not a good idea since it doesn't offer a good level of security.
I want to protect my database, my database storage folders and I want to avoid other people to access any part of my environment.
So I actually want to ask you any suggestion on how to deploy my web app avoiding security issues.
I also would like to ask you the better free local environment I can use for production (something like XAMPP but with improved security).
Keep in mind that my web app should only be visible to the local network.

Is there a way I can set an hostname for my server in order to make everyone who is connected to the lan able to reach my server with that hostname? Writing the IP with the port isn't good for user experience. I know I can use the "name" of the computer itself, but setting a custom hostname would be better.
3:
How should I serve the application? Running the normal command "php artisan serve"? Anyway that way just closing the terminal would result in killing the process so the server will become unavailable.
ANY suggestion would be really appreciated. Is my first approach to deployment so I'm really sorry if my questions are stupid.
Thank you in advance!
I am tasked to develop a laravel project for our company. I have to deploy it within the company's network only. It is my first time to do it and haven't find any good source of instruction so far. I hope you can help me with this. I am using XAMPP for this one. And the machine runs on a Windows Server 2016.
Laravel applications are easy to install on IIS. You can use the url_rewrite extension to import the rules from the .htaccess file. Other than that it is really no different than deploying to any other server.
You can also use your company's local DNS to point to the server if you wish to access it via https://my-app.company.com.
May sure you all are one in common network
sudo php artisan serve --host 0.0.0.0 --port 81 (you can change the port if you want)
Other people will be able to access with you'r IP address http://your-pc-id-address:81
I have a windows machine which is running Python 3.4 with Flask.
But of course the Flask development server is slow and sometimes I need to host my applications locally for local usage so I need to host it on a more robust web server on windows.
How to do that ?
Thanks in advance.
I already got it. used This Guide Here to setup apache with mod_wsgi.
I Don't know much about server things.
But my client says his server is Apache version2.2, .php files run asPHP5 FastCGI
So is it Linux hosting server or Window hosting server.
Thank you.
You can run Apache on Linux and Windows so you can't really say what operating system is running on that server.
I have 2 VM running, one is giving me a local server on an address like www.x.com (FREE BSD 64bit), which I can access from my browsers locally.
My question is, if I use another VM to test with windows and IE, how can I access my www.x.com given from my other running VM with the second VM? That means, from IE?
Is that possible?
Thanks a lot, this would help me a lot, I have to deploy to our testing servers everytime I want to test something on IE and is quite annoying!
Possible, of course. To connect to your VM both from host system and another VM you can set bridget networking for both VMs (BTW, maybe you already using network bridge). There are also other possibilities, but bridget network is easiest way, IMHO.
