Hi Bashir,

I think this should probably be in the installation forum rather than here, but I think this is down to the way the moodle config.php file is set up. You will need to edit the config.php file to allow access to the site through the ip address or url rather than localhost

$CFG->wwwroot   = 'your_site_url_or_ip_here';
