Client navigation on in house Intranet Site failing.

Permalink 1 user found helpful
I am trying to setup an in house intranet site using concrete5. I am currently using WAMP Server. i have everything installed and working correctly, except for one issue. It is probably something stupid i am overlooking on my part, but here goes.

I can pull up the site on the server machine by going to
http://localhost/portal

( portal is what i named my install folder)

the ip address of the server is 192.168.1.74

when i go to a client machine out on my network and try to navigate to http://192.168.1.74/portal i get Internet explorer cannot display the webpage screen.

I can pull uphttp://192.168.1.74 ( apache page ) just fine.

any ideas of what may be causing this?
Thanks for any help that mat be offered.

Open up site.php under the config folder, lookup;

define('BASE_URL', 'http://localhost');


Change to:
define('BASE_URL','http://'.$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]);


That way you will always be able to access locally and remotely.

Cheers.
