Hi,

I have XOOPS running on my personal server (my own PC, WindowsXP, fixed IP adress, Apache, PHP and MySQL)

It all works GREAT when I look at my site from my own PC at home. But when i go my XOOPS site from another PC (say, at work)I just see a blank page. --> THE PROBLEM

I tested and i can see plain (non XOOPS) html-pages on my server, but NOT the XOOPS pages.

I have my Windows XP firewall switched on (port 80 for html and i also added port 3306 for MySQL). Is that correct?!?

I guess I am not able to talk to my database when I access my site from an external location (say at work).

Please help me; because what is a portal with only ME as an audience?

Thankz in advance,
Jeepster

It has been solved in other post:

"Just thought I would post my findings. There is a way this will work. You just need to edit your hosts.txt file. This file is located at %SYSTEM_ROOT%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.txt where %SYSTEM_ROOT% is default to "C:\Windows"

you can find the original thread here

hope this works ok!

by the way, hosts.txt migth not have the extension so it would be hosts.
