All image and links broken when view over network

[vyhnanek]

Hi,

 

After a long search for the best commerce program, I chose OSCommerce. I'm up and runnig on XP Pro on IIS 5.1 as localhost. I know the Windows enviroment, Access DB, some .asp scripting and a little VB, plus a lot of HTML so I have no problems getting around, especially changing the look---I'm surprised how easy this all is, I get it ---all but one thing. My local machine is on a network with Cisco router and 3 other machines. Everything works fine within the network as far as printers, viewing a test website also on local host, viewing it and also editing that website over the network. (I don't use FrontPage or FP extensions)

 

Problem is when I go to another machine and type in the address to the XP localhost computer, to go to my OSCommerce site, it connects but all image links are broken and I get a 404 error on the text links---I see the text. CCS don't run either. I've researched every article on the web and this forum and tried editing the paths in index.php, both config.php files, application_top.php and whatever. I've made suggested changes from many a help article to no avail, so after 5 days I'm asking for help which hardly do.

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Probably you use 127.0.0.1 or localhost in your defines for the HTTP_SERVER (like define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://127.0.0.1');).

You would need to use the IP-address of your computer in the network (probably something like 192.168.0.xxx) to have it working locally and in the network.

I'll get back to you tomorrow on this.

Okay! I set the server to use an IP address and changed both configure.php files and it all works just fine. Thank you for your help! I see you are from NL---great mussels, frite and beer in your country!!!

 

Thanks,
