CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi there.

I'm all new to CMSMS and pretty new to Apache/PHP/MySQL, so might not be a CMSMS issue I have, but here I go:

I just installed the lot: Apache 2.2.6*, PHP 5.2.5*, MySQL 5.0.4* (*=WAMP5 1.7.4) and CMSMS 1.6.6 on a Win 2003 server. The installations wend smooth and all is up and running and everything works on the W2k3 server.

I set up 4 sites on 4 different domains, and copied the CMSMS into each dir, using the same MySQL, and configuring the httpd_vhosts.conf. Also I configured the hosts file on the client, to know the route to the server. I'm so far working on LAN (same VLAN).

BUT when trying to access the sites from a remote computer, I can only access the main page of the sites. I can access all sites, but only the main pages. As soon as I click on a menu link, the url switch to eg. "localhost/index.php?page=higher-end", where it should have had been "domainname.tld/index.php?page=higher-end", why the browser can't show the page.

Does anyone have a clue of how to solve this?

Thanks for your assistance.

Localhost can't use domain names, you need a Host to do it that way, or change you host file in windows to direct it there...

Do you have the proper info in the config.php file for each domain?
What is showing for:

    $config['root_url'] = ' ';

for each site?

When installing these environments, you should have used the 'outside' domain-name/ip-address. Then the domain is reachable from the outside.

I use a dyndns.org domain for forwarding to my development-pc. In my hosts-file, I have this added to the:
127.0.0.1 localhost domain.dyndns.org

And all sites are setup with the dyndns.org url instead of localhost. Because of the hosts-file entry I work locally with the dyndns.org entry as well.... So you could change the localhost-lines to your outside-IP to test...
