i am semi-new to all this, came across XOOPS and installed it fine, no problem. running win2k3 and mysql...easyphp...but my question lies in how do i make my site run through my ip address...instead of 127.0.0.1...ect ect, i havent been able to figure it out for the life of me but i am sure it is really simple.

if someone could give me a hand with this that would be cool.

Thanks

you'll need to run IIS or some other web server or proxy server and set the DNS info to your external IP for the site to resolve from the outside.

Make sense?

Are you able to get a 'regular' html site to work through your external IP address?

There are three things u have to consider...

1. Is the webserver correct configured.
2. Is virtual server enabled in your gateway
3. You have to install XOOPS with the correct paths

And last but not least...

Fix the host file on your machines. Doing that will make sure when u are using your internet ip address, behind the gateway u can see XOOPS ...and XOOPS will run correct.

---- Host file ----

192.168.0.20    localhost
192.168.0.20    domain.com
192.168.0.20    www.domain.com


---- XOOPS Paths ----

Virtuel path would be something like

http://Your Internet IP

-------------------------------------------------------
The host file is the internal problem .

The host file is located at:

/windows/system32/drivers/etc on Xp
and
/winnt/system32/drivers/etc on 2K

You can edit it with Notepad or something.

But doing that will only redirect inside your network.

---------------------------------------------------------
The external problem is directing your ISP IP on to the server.

If you have some network hardware in front of the server, for example a router or a cablegateway, you have to configure the virtual server on this device so it points your ISP IP at your internal server ip.

If your server is hooked up to the internet without any network hardware in front, then you should be able to install XOOPS with the virtual path beeinghttp://yourip and it should run.

well,
comments:
1. if u r working at INTRANET(many computer connected to each other ) you can get your ip address by 'ipconfig' command from dos prompt at windows or 'ifconfig' terminal command at linux

2. after getting your the internally IP address, each computer in your lan can access your machinehttp://your_ip_address orhttp://your_computer_name
but check at your httpd.conf (found at APACHE_HOME/conf/) therte is line containing Listen 80 and not commented.

3. to access your machine from outside your lan .. you have to get your INTERNET IP address (your lan computers will never can use this IP)

4. as Grizzlydk said (thank's Grizzlydk ) f your lan have router .. you MUST make redirection (using NAPT) for your url

check these 4 points and tell me what you need ...
