Thanks for the fast reply
well I can see the portal locally as in http://localhost/html/
but when I try to access remotely from home through the ip I can't see it in php all I see is html code with a button.
I currently am on a network and when I access it from another computer on this network the same happens. I'm gonna post screenshots so you guys can see what the problem is.
local XOOPS screenshot
lan & remote XOOPS screenshot
PD. it has nothing to do with the port because I checked every config file on my apache and php also I can see the same on windows and on linux (my home) from the lan-xoops.png picture
hope you or someone can help thanks!

Remember, php code will never able to run on client side. You need to run it on the server side. Try XSAS

Linux can run with the apache, php 5 etc.

But windows doesn't have those things, you could be you need it to be running in the background.

errr
I am trying to access it remotely see for yourself that it's very different on the screenshots on the lan screenshot I'm trying to access THE server which is 192.168.1.58 and I get the same page as if I was accesing it remotely let's say, my home for example. the windows machine is not running it locally it's trying to access via the network the index.php
thanks

Hi r0ny01

I?m not a lan/php/ etc guru, but looking to your screenshots, seems to me that is something wrong with the render process of your templates.

It seems that must be something wrong with your server installation trhat could be breaking your "outside" connections. Did you find anything wierd with .htacces file or something like this?


Sorry for my lack of assistence.

Good luck

I suspect your XOOPS_URL in mainfile.php is defined wrongly.
for instant, if you define XOOPS_URL as "http://localhost/html", you may face some broken links for images, css etc. Do a "View Source" on your remote machine you will be able to see that.

try to edit the XOOPS_URL in mainfile.php as below:
define('XOOPS_URL', "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."/html");

and try again.

Re: I can see the portal fine locally but I have problem viewing it remotely

Correct. It is the mainfile.php setting for XOOPS_URL. I can't see your sample pics but by the description this is your problem.

You can visualize the problem when you are on any machine other than the server. All the internal links in XOOPS are referring to http://localhost/xxxxxxx which is your current machine, not the remote XOOPS server.

This is a DNS issue. Change the mainfile.php config from localhost to a real host name (http://www.yourdomain.com or whatever). From the internet this hostname must resolve to the internet IP of your firewall/router (you do have a firewall between the internet and everything inside right?). From inside your local network this hostname must resolve to the internal IP of the server (192.168.x.x or whatever).

You can use a regular DNS and a dummy DNS on the inside or the Hosts file of the inside machine(s).

If you only have one web server process then you're done. If you run multiple VirtualHosts at the server then its config must match as well.
