Is it possible to show someone the site im working on in Localhost ?

I know someone once pointed me to their IP adress and it was self publishing a site he was working on.
I want to do something similar to show a friend.

Im working with joomla and have installed WAMP5 in order to test what im doing.

Anyone have any info on how to direct someone to it, or can it not be done the way im thinking.

 

first be sure you have an ip, which you really should have.

then use the ip to access your localhost

123.456.678.9/mylocalfolder

this is if you are not sitting behind a network. if you do its a little more complex than that
if you are sitting in a network then you have a local ip address and it never works outside the network

 

Yeah im behind the network.
What can i do in this case ?

 

u know your ip

if yea than the ip followed by the folder

 

Then you need to set up port fowarding on port 80 in your router to point to your local network IP address. For information on how to do this, go to portfoward.com

 

also you need to run a webserver..i recommend Apache2Triad..its quite good..you dont need to isntall php and other things seperately like MySQl etc etc ..
