Hello, I have run into a problem. I installed Mediawiki on Ubuntu using the instructions from Code: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-mediawiki-on-ubuntu-14.04 I am able to use mediawiki on that computer. But when I try to access it from another computer I get an error message. In other words on the host computer I can access media wiki by going to Code: //localhost/mediawiki I can also access it by going to Code: //143.223.100.144/mediawiki but I'm unable to access it from any other computer on the same network. If I go to Code: //143.223.100.144/mediawiki from a different computer it changes to Code: http://localhost/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page . If I force it to Code: http://143.223.100.144/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page It says File not found I have set up media wiki on a ubuntu computer about 4 years ago. And got it all working but that was at a different job and do not have access to it. Not sure what I'm doing wrong this time.
Seems as if mediawiki was installed trough localhost and not http://143.223.100.144/mediawiki which means that mediawiki now redirects all requests to localhost which will not work from outside.
So you are saying that I need to start over again and next time go to http://143.223.100.144/mediawiki to install it? Or is there a way to correct it?
If this has a db then use phpmyadmin to take a look at the db looking for something like an Options table or Config table and then check to see if there us a hardcoded url field that you can change. Wordpress is similar where it has the domain name and install folder in a filed in the db but you can go in and change it if you move that copy of wordpress to another location or your domain name changes You could always check with the forum of the product your trying to install and see if they can give you an exact location on what to change to fix this.
