Trouble connecting to apache: Connects w/ IP, but not name

[Wiedmann]

Both tests or test1 or test2?

ping 1 ran four times in just a few seconds.
ping 2 to database returned 12.215.23.4

You have a copy 'n paste from the shell (complete output)?

[lostndazed]

I don't believe we have 12.215.23.4 on our peer to peer network.

[lostndazed]

All tests are from pc 2.

You have a copy 'n paste from the shell (complete output)?

I can't copy and paste the output from dos command.

[lostndazed]

How else to get to shell?

[lostndazed]

When I put in database, it's pinging database.OurISP.com

[Wiedmann]

I can't copy and paste the output from dos command.

Why can't you do that?

All tests are from pc 2.

http://127.0.0.1/index.html

Says It Works.

Then XAMPP is installed at pc2 and not pc1...

[lostndazed]

I CAN access it from another machine IF I use the IP address.
Example not using actual IP number: http://127.0.0.01/

another machine PC2

[lostndazed]

windows PC command.com opens a DOS window. the output is DOS. It has never allowed me to select and copy the text.

[lostndazed]

xampp is on PC 1.

[Wiedmann]

http://127.0.0.1/index.html

Then the real test from pc2 was: "http://192.168.1.4 /index.html"?
(don't lie in your answers)

It has never allowed me to select and copy the text.

xampp is on PC 1.
IP for PC1 is 192.168.1.4.
PC1 name is database.

If I use http://192.168.1.4/index.html I can see a page that says, It Works!
If I use http://database/index.html I get a blank page. When I view the source, it says:

Code: Select all

<?
   echo "web5.ltbx.com is alive";
?>

PC1 doesn't know it's named database?

[lostndazed]

Cool! I didn't know there was a way to copy and paste DOS! I've changed my isp name to myISP in the info below.

Wiedmann, I don't lie. I just am concerned about attacks on us. This information will be laying around the internet a very long time and anyone can read it. The basic facts are the same from the beginning of my posts.

I don't know why my PC 2 can not see PC 1 when using PC1 name, database. I appreciate your help and thank you for your time in helping me to fix this problem.

[Wiedmann]

I don't lie.

I know. It's a hard (and maybe not correct) word. But there is no risc in giving us information about your internal network. And of course. You don't know which details you can change and which not... (that's the reason you ask here)

(And the only things I know, is, what you are posting here. And 127.0.0.1 is the local pc)

I've tried installing a LMHOSTS file on the second machine, but it didn't seem to resolve the IP number.

OK, something is wrong with your dns resolution.

BTW:
"LMHOSTS" is the wrong place. But you can add a entry in the "hosts" file at pc2:

Code: Select all

127.0.0.1       localhost
192.168.1.4     database
