I installed XOOPS 2.2.4 on a Windows 2000 Server machine with WAMP 1.6.4a which has versions 5 of MySQL and PHP. When I access the site via localhost/test03, everything appears fine. When I try from an outside machine using http://72.148.198.53/test03, I get the login page, but everything is messed up--no graphics, etc.

What do you suppose is happening from outside that is not happening from inside? Sounds like a permissions problem, but I could use help in finding the problem. I have web shared the public_html folder as follows:

Access permissions:
Read, Script source access

Application permissions:
Execute (including scripts)

WAMP is installed at f:\wamp (F is the system drive)
The web folder is g:\public_html
Xoops is installed at g:\public_html\test03

(Information which I couldn't think of and therefore left out goes here )

All suggestions appreciated.

Did you change XOOPS_URL in mainfile.php to the external URL?

If I view the page source, all the URLs reference "localhost", e.g.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="http://localhost/test03/xoops.css" />

No, I didn't. I never had to do it on my hosted site, but, now that I think of it, I see why I needed to do it here. I think.

Anyway, many thanks for the prompt help!
