i installed MoodleWindowsInstaller-latest-19 on win2k3.
It get installed successfull on the system , working fine on localhost .
i created a quiz for the students , now i want my students to appear in quiz by login in to their respective system browsers.

For this i connected my machine to network , since in my college we are usig DHCP, i got an ip 10.0.0.181 to my machine.
i copied this ip to config.php file of moodle at the place of
$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://10.0.0.181/moodle';

when my students are trying to access moodle using URL http://10.0.0.181/moodle they are getting the first page but as soon as they press login the URL changes to
http://localhost/moodle. and nothing displays after this.

Please help me to resolve this problem.

Thanks & Regards

your problem is due to access .

first check your Apache server is running or not check it .
and pass your machine IP to config.php

If you are using the windows complete install package, the likelihood is that the PHP accelerator is caching the old version of your config.php. You need to turn the accelerator off or at least clear its cache.

On another note, you would be better off using your computer name as opposed to your DHCP address in config.php, or when your DHCP IP Address renews itself and changes, no one will be able to access anything!
