..how to access oscommerce internally & externally

[phil180]

Hi,

I have installed oscommerce on my internal network (192.168.0.x) and setup the config with the internal reference (http://192.168.0.215/catalog/) as the WWW Address in Step 4 of the install process. It works brilliantly when I access it from inside the internal network, but when I try to acces it from out in the wild (the internet) as www.mydomain.co.nz/catalog ... it fails..

 

Im guessing the problem is the internal address for the WWW address.

 

Is there a way to access it internally (inside 192.168.0.*) , and externally (www.mydomain.co.nz)??

 

Further info:

o The dns is setup for the broadband modems ip address,

o Port 80 is directed to the server holding the oscommerce server

o My web mail works fine internally and externally

 

 

 

Thanks! :thumbsup:

 

Phil.

This would happen because of the domain that is in the includes/configure.php.

define('HTTP_SERVER', ''); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
 define('HTTPS_SERVER', ''); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
 define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');
 define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');

The above settings would have to be dynamic and not static if you want to access oscommerce from two domain names.
