use the web url in the general tab, url and blog. fixed my missing external css scripting , but now i have the issue that i cant get to my own site internally using localhost or the IP, of course web url wont work.

i had read something about changing the url and an absolute path ,.,, I wonder if thats what i just did and need to do

it will work now, changed the IP in general settings to mu url address, now i cant get to my site internally but it looks beautiful to everyone externally

…. there has to be a middle ground here.

ok , did that… now i cant get into it, and everyone else says, looks great

fixed it myself, downloaded xampp and reinstalled everything….
now just a theme issue trouble to work through and i am done

edited, my last post…. it was a rushed answer looking at the stylesheet right now.

I am hosting it, at my house on my computer, through apache, mysql and php with wordpress. bought the domain and have dns pointed to my external ip then the firewall routs to this computer where apache is listning.
xampp is just a package of software ( apache with php/etc, mysql , filezilla, murcury, etc…) its mentioned so that people will know the platform that it is running on. ( oh windows 7 and nothing is in the program files directory its got its on folder off the c:) set up xampp first built the databases second, then extracted wordpress (minus containing folder) to my web folder then created the wp-config.php and thats how I got here. everything works inside my lan as stated and looks beautiful. Its only those external viewers who are being robbed of its beauty

heh, I know posting my own fixes are lame… but i forget fast, and no one has responded to my post in a while either.

think I may actually have found the real source of my issue

Vista Note:
Because of missing or insufficient write permissions in “C:\Program Files”, we recommend to use alternate folder ( found on another site )

Windows 7 ( I installed everything to the generic program files (x86) directory. ) Its so new I might just pull it all all the system and start over with a custom directory for all my stuff.

as for the favicon.ico error i found
editing the conf file in apache may fix this
add the following .

# Don’t bother looking for favicon.ico
Redirect 404 /favicon.ico

# Don’t bother sending the custom error page for favicon.ico
<Location /favicon.ico>
ErrorDocument 404 “No favicon
</Location>

as always im a noob, this is third hand knowledge….. correct me if you know more about it.

I see that when i used FF, but internal error 500 when using IE

I’m still having the issue, and I had read about the internal server error somewhere ( a guy suning 1and1 hosting ) he says to edit the php.ini file changing the mem line as follows.

memory=20MB

donno if this is going to help you or not, and I am really sorry if it wastes your time, im at work here hoping someone may come up with a better plan for my problem and thought I would tell you about what I found before I forgot to do it or couldnt find your post after getting home and testing this myself.

I know this is probably not related but like I said i am new, and its possible

I read the following :

Problem: After updating the blog to WP 2.7 everything was running smooth. But when opening some of the plugin setting pages the server responded with a “500 Internal Server Error” – especially when using plugins like “XML Sitemap Generator for WordPress” or when uploading pictures. When I activated the “StatPress Reloaded”-plugin non of the admin section was accessible anymore.

Diagnosis: PHP is running out of memory.

Solution: If you are running your own root, dedicated or virtual server this is an easy bugfix: You just have to change the php.ini of your server and provide more memory to your PHP installation. On a shared hosting server – like at the webhosting solutions at 1and1 you often don’t have access to that central php.ini. But there is an easy workaround:
Create a text file and name it “php.ini” (without the quotes ?? ) and with a single line of code in it:

memory=20MB

This file has to be placed into the directory /wp-admin/ within your WordPress installation.

going to try this when I get home….. stuck @ work right now, but if anyone knows something better I am willing to try that also

sorry i had tried it again later
here is the error from the right time its the same one but i know how we like to have the exact log

[Sun Mar 14 12:51:02 2010] [error] [client 172.16.1.63] File does not exist: C:/www/favicon.ico

my server access log

172.16.1.63 – – [14/Mar/2010:12:51:36 -0600] “GET /wp-admin/install.php HTTP/1.1” 500 –

server error log

[Sun Mar 14 13:19:27 2010] [error] [client 172.16.1.63] File does not exist: C:/www/favicon.ico

well its not that, I thought i would try other releases, none seem to pass through the install.php file.

thanx mrmist. but this appears to be somthing with mysql settings i changed localhost to something else and get an error saying it cant find the mysql… so I know its running, just cant figure this out my user name / pass and database are all correct.

ok , i should start by saying i dont know much about the php language and syntax, i feel there is something wtong with my install.php file, kind of did from the start. here is the text when I open it in an editor. (no editing was done)

[Mod Note: Chunk of code removed. If you want to post large blocks of code, please use a pastebin.]

when I opened it it was crammed up onto 7 lines in the notepad, I renamed my install.php install.bak.php.txt and then I created a text file and copied this back into it, this displayed like a proper php file now. same error persists
