Localhost as a server on LAN with LAMPP solution

This works on Ubuntu 10.10 64bit with Lampp 1.7.3a installed in /opt/. If you want to be your localhost computer httpd server for LAN change ServerName in /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf. First check your IP on LAN with ifconfig. If DHCP gives you IP, then it possible to fix IP by MAC address.

ifconfig wlan0

gedit /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf

ServerName 192.168.0.168:80

Xampp on Ubuntu maverick 10.10 64 bit
