 |
|
I know how to view my website localy (by typing in my Internal IP into the address bar), but now that I have my own forum running from my site, I can only view certain pages, For example: I can view and read the forum topics and things, but cannot sign in, out, go to the admin panel... etc.
Is there anyway to fix? |

I assume you are using phpBB.
You need to login (use the normal method, then you click login you get an error 404, click back and refresh the page, you will be logged in) then click admin panel, configuration and change the domain from your local IP to your domain name (if you have one) or to your static IP.
If you have dynamic IP I suggest you get a no-ip or dyndns domain name to use.
Just as a note, this question has been asked before :P

Yes Im using phpBB, I do have a dynamic IP, and I use No-ip's software, but even when I type my domain name that no-ip gives me, it comes up with my router main page |

Then your router does not support loopback. Search the forum for loopback for more details, including how to tweak your hosts file so that you can use your no-ip name inside your LAN.

| Quote: | tcp2000,
Most routers do not do "loopback". So you should use the following workaround to make your computer go to the LAN IP address directly instead of using the router IP and having the "loopback" problem when using www.mydynalias.dynalias.com .
Open with Windows Notepad or any text editor, the file C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts or C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts .
Add to this file the following line:
Code:
127.0.0.1 www.mydynalias.dynalias.com
Save the file and retry accessing the site from your computer using the full name. It should work now. |
I found what I was looking for... thanks aprelium |

well I put this in my HOSTS file:
127.0.0.1 server88.hopto.org
I got the same result as when I type my local ip (192.168.2.75) |

Sounds like somewhere in your site you have hardcoded an IP address rather than the DNS name... Do you get the router login page immediately on accessing server88.hopto.org or once you start navigating the forum?

| yes, as soon as I type "server88.hopto.org" in the address bar it goes directly to my router, for the forum, I can see it on certain pages by first going to "192.168.2.75" which is my local IP, but when I try to sign in or make a forum and stuff like that it says "Page Cannot be Displayed" |

Hmm.
Can you confirm the exact path of the hosts file you modified?
Have you closed and reopened your browser(s) since modifying the hosts file?
Have you emptied your browser(s) cache?
Have you restarted your PC?
