Hi,
here is how I do it:
1. In config.php , do these changes
// Comment line below
// define('WB_URL', "http://localhost:4001"); // no trailing slash or backslash!!
function getLocalIP(){
exec("ipconfig /all", $output);
foreach($output as $line){
if (preg_match("/(.*)IPv4 Address(.*)/", $line)){
$ip = $line;
$ip = str_replace("IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . :","",$ip);
$ip = str_replace("(Preferred)","",$ip);
}
}
return $ip;
}
define('WB_URL', 'http://'.str_replace(' ', '', getLocalIP()).':'.$_SERVER['SERVER_PORT']); // no trailing slash or backslash!!
Make sure that Apache2/bin/httpd_usbwv8.exe and mysql/bin/mysqld_usbwv8.exe and usbwebserver.exe are included in firewall exception list, or you can simply disable firewall.
EDIt> run server, and when it opens homepage in browser http://localhost:443/index.php click any page and it will open url like http://192.168.1.123:4443/page1.php, so this IP address 192.168.1.123:4443 type on your phone tablet or another computer in local network.

I think this is it, but if doesnt work let me know, I will look into code again to see i there are more changes needed.
All best

a big step for me ;-)
i try it in the past with the locale IP-Adress, but not with the port at the end.
result ist now: the iPad-Browser show's now the start page from my locale server on the PC, in my case the index.php from the htdocs-folder of the apache24-server.
On my locale PC-system, i use virtual hosts. this give me the possibility, to use a separat server name for every project and i can store the files on every place on the harddisc, outside from the htdocs-folder of the server
but your code give me the idea, to add vhosts also in WB-Portable and if its work, i've an example for my problem.
And if i found no solution for that, i can copy my project into the htdocs-Folder of my locale server and i test it without the virtual host. What i need, is a styling check for my modules in responsive displays and this "problem" is solved! (Y) (Y)
if somebody try this code from crnogorac081 -
i use the german language on my PC and so i get the results from this function also in german. So i've to change the english word like "IPv4 Address" and "Preferred" to the german words "IPv4-Adresse" and "Bevorzugt". if you use a other language, print the results of this function to get the correct words with
print_r(getLocalIP());
Thanks a lot for this solution!!

cool im glad it works.
I dont know how you will solve multiple virtual hosts, because your phone or tablet doesnt know url for example http://my-project1 , 2, 3.. where will go... You would have to add manualy entry in hosts file for each phone/computer/tablet , thats why I have multiple wbportable instalations for each project.

It works.... yeah....
i cannot use a server name (at the moment - i dont know, how it works) but i can use your code, to work with a flexible IP-Adress. I've to add a new virtual host, called like my locale IP-Adress on the PC and now, i can work on both machines at the same time without changes every time.
The only problem at the moment: everything is hardcoded. if i want to work on a new project, i've to change the VirtualHost-Definition (other folders etc), but it doesn't matter
Thanks again (Y)
*a nice day :-D

Can you post the examplr with virtual hosts , i didnt figure out how to make this

192.168.2.149 is the IP of my PC. On this Windows-PC runs a Apache24-Server && Mysql Server 8.0 && PHP in different versions
<VirtualHost 192.168.2.149:80>
DocumentRoot "F:/cms/wb_test_1611"
ServerName wb1611
ServerAlias wb1611
ErrorLog "F:/cms/wb_test_1611/local_error.log"

And you call it in browser http://wb1611:4443 ?
-
i dont use https at the moment, it come's later
i use http://192.168.2.149:80 on the iPad and http://wb1611 directly on the PC and later, with https the same with the port 443
