Publishing a site for use in an intranet
Publishing a site for use within your company's Intranet is fairly straightforward.
Open the Host Setup Assistant and proceed to set up your host for publishing to your computer.
When you reach the "Publishing to This Computer" pane, you need to enter your computer's internal address into the "Hostname" box.
To determine your computer's address:
- Open the System Preferences (from the Apple menu in the top left of your screen).
- Go to the "Sharing" pane.
-
The address to reach your site is displayed near the top of the pane:
- Copy and paste the address into the "Hostname" box in the Host Setup Assistant.
Then, click the "Continue" button. Sandvox will attempt to test if your computer is reachable from the Internet. Of course, since you are not publishing to the Internet, the test should fail and Sandvox will warn you so. Ignore this and click the "Continue" button.
