Unable to connect to Moodle: Installed on another PC

Unable to connect to Moodle: Installed on another PC

Hello everyone-

Last night, I was able to install Moodle on a seperate workstation.  I'm performing testing of the application and before we place it on a box, we want to make sure that the software is conduscive to our business practices.

Initially I had researched on the forums here about how to modify the config.php file located in \server\moodle and the httpd.conf file located in \server\apache\conf.  The problem is that after updating these two files with the correct IP address on the workstation, I still cannot connect by entering in http://IPADDRESS/moodle.  I'm quite confused as this is the only modification that I've found by reading through other threads on this site. 

I'm running Moodle 1.9 on a Vista workstation.  I can provide any other information that anyone would need to help.

Thanks!

My first thought is to lose the Vista... but I am not allowed to say that...sad. Seriously, get XP, or SuseLinux or something else.

My growing suspicion is the Vista User Access Control is interfering with anything and everything that is not Microsoft, and this will only be worse in Windows 7.

First: you say "...modify the config.php file located in \server\moodle and the httpd.conf file..." What did you modify in the httpd.conf file? Why did you modify it? Have you modified the hosts file as well?

Next: Which version of Moodle did you install? Did you use the XamppLite version or did you download Apache, MySQL and PHP for the Moodle Standard Package? If so, then you would do well to download phpMyAdmin, very useful tool.

This should have just worked, but in Vista, if you get a working installation first up, you have done very well indeed.
