Hi,

I installed xoops on WAMP server ( on a Virtual Machine)


it work fine for Localhost and 127.0.0.1 but it does not work for my local IP address ( 192.168.1.6).

when i try to access from the host machine as http://192.168.1.6/.... it gives the following error :

---------------
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

-----------------

I guess its a simple permission issue or DNS issue, but can't figure it out.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance

Deepak

I found a solution so thought of posting it here.

I made 2 changes:

1. On the windows firewall ( of VM) added port 80 to exception (both TCP & UDP).


2. on the server_root\htdocs\mainfile.php(43):

define('XOOPS_URL', 'http://localhost/xoops-root/htdocs');

change the reference of "localhost" to your server(or machine) name

define('XOOPS_URL', 'http://your_server_name/xoops-root/htdocs');


There may be other solution, but the above worked for me.
