rjholtI was wondering if someone could be kind enough to help me with a problem I have. I have decided to install WordPress and set it up as a basic intranet site. Before I begin, please note that I am very inexperienced with wordpress/php/sql so please answer in as simple terms as possible!
I have installed EasyPHP 5.3.8.0 on a Windows 2008 R2 64 bit server after following detailed instructions off a web post. I have created a database called intranet in phpMyAdmin. I have installed wordpress in the following folder:
c:\program files (x86)\easyphp-5.3.8.0\www
Using easyphp I have clicked on the wordpress link under root and it has guided me through the wizard of installing wordpress and modifying the wp-config.php file. I can see that the tables have been populated within the database etc. I can browse to the wordpress site by putting the following in the browser on the server:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/wordpress
I can login to the site and make changes, install themes and plugin etc.
Access to wordpress is basically working as it should but only from the server it is installed on. How do I access wordpress from other PC's on the LAN (as it is going to be an intranet)? I have tried changing the site address and wordpress address (to the server name itself i.e. replacing 127.0.0.1 with servername) but once the changes are saved I can no longer get access to wordpress from the server it is installed on.
I must be missing something simple! Please can anybody offer me any step by step guided advice?
Many Thanks
Rich
