   I'd like to make WordPress available on a local network but it is visible only on the server as http://localhost/wordpress/. Where is configuration file that controls access? I must be missing something here. I posted this on FedoraForum.org/servers/ but no help there.

   Other web pages in /var/www/html/... are visible on the local net. Should I install WordPress off the document root rather than in /usr/share/wordpress/ or have I missed ACCESS/DENY somewhere?

   I installed WordPress 2.3.1 on Fedora 8 using the automatic package manager (wordpress 2.3.1 - 1 . fc8 . noarch), installed a wordpress database in MySQL and set the login information in /etc/wordpress/wp-config.php. SELINUX is OFF.

   You'll need to change the wordpress and site url to point to either the ip address or the DNS name of the server. Look at this to see how to change it. Or if you can access wordpress from the server itself, you can login to your dashboard and change it under the Options > General.

   Wow that was easy!<
   I logged into WordPress on the Fedora 8 server. Under the dashboard Options>General I changed the URL from http://localhost/wordpress to http://web.mydomain.local/wordpress and all is well. I wish I had not gone down the rabbit trail of looking in Apache Config files.

   I thought I had a network problem. I wish I had looked
   here first, but I wasn't that clever. Maybe someone can comment on how to cross-reference this to aid me and others in future searches and postings.
