Hosts cannot connect to Concrete5 site
Permalink
Hey guys,
So I have a strange problem I was hoping you all might have some insight into. I have a intranet web server here, (really just an old box running xampp) which hosts a few intranet websites.
Now I'm redoing one of our external sites with concrete5, so I made a new test site on my intranet box and have been playing around with it. But heres my problem, no one but the local machine seems to be able to access the site. I can access any of the other sites on the machine just fine by going tohttp://ipaddres/sitename buthttp://ipaddres/concrete5 says that it's unable to connect to the server. I feel like this is something really stupid I'm missing, but I've been playing around with it for like an hour and cant figure it out. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

So after some more testing with it, it seems as if anyone who trys to access the site, either from the localhost or a remote host, are being directed to localhost/concrete5. For example if I try to accesshttp://webserveraddress/concrete5... on my webserver it will take me tohttp://localhost/concrete5 which works fine because the site is on the localhost there, but if I try to accesshttp://webserveraddress/concrete5... on a remote host it again redirects toohttp://localhost/concrete5 which obviously won't work because the remote host isn't hosting the website. None of my other sites hosted on this server do this.
open /config/site.php and delete the lines that have BASE_URL and DIR_REL
That worked.
Thank you so much.
