Local IP...

plasmahba

Hi everybody

I have an intranet that works pretty good in apache and php, etc.

When I try to access by Local IP in another PC everything works ok with the exception of the images that never display.

I checked the route of the images on the database and is something like
http://localhost/mysite/myimages

Am I missing something here?
Am I logging incorrectly from another PC using Local IP?
Is there a way to get an alias for that Local IP ?

I appreciate any comment

Thank ya

I think it is the use of the localhost domain... change the image tags so they point to the IP address instead of localhost, and see if that helps.

or better yet make them relative and put less of a load on appache

Assuming this is something going into something like an <img>'s src= attribute:

localhost would be the client's localhost (if there is one). If that's not the same as the server's localhost, there would be this trouble. As drawmack suggests, using a relative URL would avoid this.

Example of using a relative URI rather than an absolute one:
<img src="mysite/myimages/image.jpg" alt="my image">

Just simply drop the http://localhost/ business and you're golden.

Or you could just replace 'localhost' with your external IP address/domain.

Or not :p
