Static IP

Permalink
I have configured my server which has a static ip with concrete and when I point to it from another computer t goes to localhost of that computer and nothing is seen. How do I modify this??
http://224.12.25.18/folder gets tohttp://localhost/folder since it is configured on the localhost of a server behind NAT router.

Having a similar problem. Doing a test install on localhost. Server gets IP from dhcp but has a reserved IP in the router. When I try to connect to Concrete from another peer computer on the LAN using the IP (192.168.1.*/concrete) the address in the browser switches to localhost and searches itself and of course finds nothing.

Testing multiple CMS packages on this server and I can connect to all of them from the peer except for Concrete. I'm wondering if setting server in the install to an IP# instead of localhost would help.

Any thoughts?

Update:
I found a solution for my case.
(After Install)
Go to the config folder of your concrete5 install. Look for the site.php file. Copy this file to site.php_bak so you can go back if there is a problem. Now edit the site.php file. On the line "define base URL" change localhost to the IP# of your server. Save the file and try logging in from a peer on the network.

One note, when you try logging in from the localhost machine. You may need to set allow cookies from the IP# in your browser instead of localhost.
