    Good Morning All,

    I posted this to a Thread that was marked resolved so I thought I would start a new one. Please excuse my double posting

    This is getting very frustrating. I still can not see my blog on Intranet or Internet.
    This just a personal blog to show progress on database development. It’s currently not a project I need to host outside.

    Here’s my configuration
    MAC Mini OS X 10.6.3
    MAMP 1.9
    WordPress 2.9.2

    I have managed to put WordPress [wp1] in the Library|WebServer|Documents folder and it works fine on local computer. When viewed on Lan or from outside all that appears is what looks like unformatted html.

    I have been trying different Port settings with no positive results. After placing the wp1 directory in it’s current location if I change the TCP port to anything other that 8888 Apache will not start.

    Currently I have my Airport router configured to redirect ports 8888 / 8889 to the computer hosting the site and MySQL.

    I have watched YouTube videos I found and saw one using port 80 but can not see how he did that.

    I am open to all and any suggestions as this has become a real personal challenge I am committed to win.

    Thanks, and boy is it raining down here in South Florida this Monday morning.

  • What site url is entered in Admin/Settings/General? If it uses ‘localhost’ then the site will not work correctly except when viewed using the host machine. This is because every machine thinks that it is localhost.

    You will need to use an IP address (and not 127.0.0.0) or a local domain name.

    Thanks,

    I think I have tried changing just about everything except the one that was needed.

    Your suggestion worked perfectly.

    This is gonna be fun….:)
