Windows server: Unable to properly access Moodle site from other computers in LAN

Windows server: Unable to properly access Moodle site from other computers in LAN

I installed Moodle. When I access it from other computers in the LAN, only the first page comes. When I click other pages, instead of substituting "localhost" with the ip of the server say for example "172.20.0.230", the link remains as "http://localhost/login/index.php"

What happens it tat the instead of goin to the login page in the server, it tries to open a page in the computer which is accessing the moodle site from the server.

I tried a lot of methods of installation like using XAMPP installer, using Easyphp, using various versions of Moodle but the problem presists. The server runs on Windows XP and the client is Windows Vista.

Please help me

Muda o $CFG->wwwroot "variable" no o teu config.php file...

Ok, ok... I'd better do this in english before I embarrass myself! big grin

Change the $CFG->wwwroot variable in your Moodle config.php file so that it contains your Moodle web address, e.g.:

$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://yourmoodle';
