Enabling other people to acess my Moodle Windows Installer

Enabling other people to acess my Moodle Windows Installer

Hi,

I have installed the Moodle 3.2.1 in my machine (windows 7) using the Windows Installer, it is just for tests, and I want to know how can I enable other people to access the site.

The README note on the root folder says to use localhost for my access and the ip or my windows PC name for access of others.

So, mine would be http://localhost

And my coworkers http://192.168.128.28 or http://VICTOR

The thing is that no one can access but me, none of the links above work, it redirects their page to localhost too.


How do I get them able to access the site?

Thak you!


PS: I already have set moodle web installation, create courses, users and all, just can't get anyone else to access my Moodle.

You need to change your config.php to read

$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://192.168.128.28';

...and now *everybody* uses that to access Moodle (not 'localhost').
