Help me, please. Urgent

« on: April 11, 2002, 12:39:33 AM »

Hi, I'm Josh

And I'm hosting my on YaBB SE board on my own apache server, and I have port 80 open in the router.

Everything is working fine, when I set the address to the boards images, etc. to http://localhost/blabla...

But anyone outside my network will get a bunch of borken images, and if they click on any link they will get an error.

But if I change it too http://localhost/blabla... then I will get in, and they will get a bunch of broken images etc.

Please reply if you know the anser.

Ummm .... if you hard code your graphics as http://localhost/dirs then that makes everyone that looks at your page look to their OWN HARD DRIVE for the images. That's what localhost means. Replace 'localhost' with your IP address or domain name.

I know what localhost means, but if I put my own IP address, I get a bunch of broken images...

Sounds like some network settings of your machine are wrong. You should be able to connect to your machine by it's IP or hostname.
