Self hosting, problem with html <head> tag

Postby Zeedjoy » 14. November 2014 14:49

Hi eveybody,

I'm trying to host a wordpress site by myself on my PC with xampp 1.8.3 on windows 7.
I followed this french guide : http://web.developpez.com/cours/serveur-web-chez-soi/#LVIII-A
After setting up xampp according to the guide, I can find my site by typing http://my_rooter_ip/wordpress in a browser (from the hosting PC and also from another PC).
From the hosting PC, no problem, everything is OK.
But from another PC, CSS doesn't work.

When I try "inspect element" with Firebug, the html <head> tag seems to be grey tinted as if it was not interpreted, that's why CSS doesn't work I think.

Does someone know why the <head> tag is not interpreted please ?

Thanks a lot !

Commonly that's a WordPress configuration issue (base URL)

No.

The most common error in this context is the problem, that you have been asked for a Hostname (or Servername or Domain) when installing Wordpress and you probably applied "localhost". If you do so, all links to CSS documents refer to localhost - but this does not work if you request from a different PC, because in that context localhost yields to the wrong PC (not to the Xampp PC, but to the requesting PC).

If you want to run WordPress not only on localhost, you should provide the RouterIP instead for the Servername (not localhost).
