Dear all,
I solved the problem in the following thread:
My link

The problem was in my Apache configuration, I didn't bind the WIFI IP address....

hmmm..your statement reminds me that I forgot to bind the interface IP address in Apache. I use "Listen" directive, and it solves the problem...

thanks for the pointer....

The webserver can only be accessed from my local computer (my laptop). Unfortunately I don't have any other mobile device available.

What is the best way to configure and troubleshoot this?

Dear all,
i have a problem connecting an Apache server to an Android Galaxy note 10.1 where the server resides in a windows 7 laptop. So this is a two hardware, tethering network configuration. The first choice was enabling a ad-hoc connection from the laptop and let the mobile device discovers it, however it can't.

The second choice is using tethering network from the mobile device and acting it as a hotspot. The laptop can recognize the mobile device, but the mobile device doesn't recognize the webserver.

My question is, what is the best way to accomplish this? How can I make either scenario work?

regards,

Hi Atli,
thanks for the reply...

My problem is I don't know how to make Apache communicating with the mobile device. Right know I have 2 hardware network without a router and they are connecting via wifi.

I was thinking about connecting the two using laptop windows 7 adhoc connection, but the mobile device cannot recognize it for some reason.

If I'm using the mobile device as a hotspot, the mobile device cannot see the apache server.

I'm going to ask the mobile forum, I think this is the wrong sub forum?
