I installed Ubuntu and got the LAMP stack installed as well. The problem is I have to be connected to the internet for the local Apache webserver to work.

I changed the IP address on the dnshost, in the apache2.conf file, got the servername in the httpd.conf, which was empty.

Any ideas?

  • Could you elaborate what "does not work" means exactly? Does it not start, does it simply not respond (what IPs/hostnames did you try)? Do any of the relevant error logs show anything noteworthy?

  • check your AllowOverride property in .htaccess ( change to All )

Does the server actually not run or does your browser just complain when you visit http://localhost in offline mode? Especially Firefox has an annoying tendancy to think that localhost is a remote server and needs to be kicked out of offline mode in order to be willing to attempt a connection.

  • I use chrome, none of the browsers are offline though.
