ACCESSING CMS REMOTELY

Post by wizard0304 »

CMS Version 1.92
php 5.31
MySql 5.1.41
Apache/2.2.14 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.14 OpenSSL/0.9.8l mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.3.1 mod_apreq2-20090110/2.7.1 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.1
OS WINNT 5.1 On i586
Xampp for windows version 1.7.3

when accessing the url remotely, i.e http://192.168.6:8088/site the template will not display
It will display using http://localhost:8088/site

How to fix?

You will have to change config to get it to work when not doing localhost access...

Are you sure your IP address is right? Your's looks like it's 8 bits short.

Sorry but this is really not a CMSMS problem, a few others have sites hosted on their computers with no problems, maybe you want to look into dyndns...

It depends on where and how you are accessing it.

In your config file you are using an internal network IP address. Which won't work if you accessing on the internet via the links you gave us. But if you are on the internal network and are still having a problem then it is probably a networking issue.

But if you are on the internet the config.php needs to have a valid address/domain for the users to see the server which 192.168.0.6:8088 isn't valid for the internet.

another option would be to run the installer, with the outside ip/dns and then in step 5 UNCHECK the ticks to create table and install default content. With those 2 unticked a new config.php will be created, where the paths will be correct.
