Run a local http from browser

I have to open a web page (which is on a local server) from Run/Powershell/whatever.

In the Run Window, I write that :

firefox \\192.168.167.147\test.php

or on Powershell :

[system.Diagnostics.Process]::Start("firefox", "\\192.168.167.147\test.php")

Firefox starts but open this page :

file://///192.168.167.24/test.php

instead of

192.168.167.24/test.php

Same on Chrome.

Do you have any ideas?

Using \\ will use the file:// protocol by default.

The same happens if you type \\192.168.167.147 directly in Firefox's or Chrome's address bar (or Windows Explorer by the way)

You need to explicitly use the protocol you want to use http:// or ftp:// or whatever

firefox http://192.168.167.147/test.php will do it

I don't understand your question very much ,

But I usually use vhosts/.conf file in wampserver to create local hosts

ex: test.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>  
    DocumentRoot "d:/example/repos/public"
    ServerName local.example.domain.com
    ServerAlias local.example.domain.com        
</VirtualHost>
<Directory "d:/example/repos/public">
    AllowOverride All
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

Hope this helps
