Can't navigate through all pages

[robdyk]

Hello all. First problem I encountered is that nobody can see any pictures !

I can see all pictures when I browse the oscommerce site. I have the site on my own server at home. When i look from another PC that resides on the same LAN as my server I can see pages and pictures.

When someone from "the outside" visits the web-shop He can't see any pictures, only text. They all see 'x' on the places where the pictures should be.

 

The second problem is that anyone from outside my lan can only see the index.php page. When they hit any link, the browser reports : Document contains no data. It won't show anything. I know for sure the files are in the right directories as they should be.

Any idea where to look for ?

Look in includes/configure.php. You may have a path set that is outside the webserver's root, or otherwise inaccessible from the outside world. If you can't figure it out, please give us the URL and post a copy of the above file for us to look at.

 

Regards

Okay, I'll post the file. I'm not exactly sure where to look for, although I think the "define HTTP server"is wrong. I used the ip-adress

itself instead of the fully qualified domainname. So I think it's a DNS problem

 

The url of the site is: http://www.linuxforme.serverthuis.nl/oscom...-2.2ms2/catalog

and this is my /includes/configure.php

You are quite right; the IP address is the problem. Addresses in the range 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 are non-routable. Your IP is effectively invisible to anybody outside your network. Otherwise your settings appear to be correct.

 

I should also mention that running a database server exposed to the internet with no password is very dangerous. I hope that you just removed the password before posting. If not, please secure your servers before you fix the address problem.
