Hi.

I'm having trouble trying to host a simple ImpressPage Website for demo purposes.
I've set the site up using xampp and have installed the ImpressPages (similar to Wordpress) and is working perfectly on my local machine.

However. When i try to access the machine using its IP address from another machine on the same network it shows the content but all the Images, Icons, Links etc are not showing (also CSS is not loading).

I've open the source on the remote machines web browser and it seems to be pointing to 127.0.0.1 at the start of each file location to be loaded, which is incorrect because that means its looking for the folder inside itself??

I've spent mean hours trying to look up a soulution but just can't find it. I'm new to xampp and all its components but i think i have the basics to get it to work.

I Have a feeling its something to do with the PHP. I've pulled up the PHP Info and it seem to be showing its server address as 127.0.0.1.
I've had a look at most conf files trying to change the 127.0.0.1 address to its static address which in my case is 192.168.100.100. also had a look at host file but still no fix.

I was woundering if some of you kind people could shed some light on the situation and help me fix the problem.

Thanks Very Much Guys

Regards
Ben

Bump*

does your 'xampp' page display correctly on the remote machine???

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xampp/

IF SO, the problem is with your configuration of your blog/CMS.

err, bingo

Hi there
Yeah I can access the xampp page using the hosts IP address followed by /xampp (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xampp) on remote machine and displays correctly but still doesn't work with the Impresspages directory. its not displaying the page correctly, I can see the content i"ve created but just not images, CSS, etc.
Weird!!!!!!

I"ve re-installed it on a seperate machine and still getting the same effect?? The ImpressPagesCMS config files are inbedded into my eyes now and just can't figure it out.
