Localhost vs. server IP address...

Post by eroberts1 »

Hi,

I have an IIS web server running on W2K. I'm demo'ing Webinator and things are going great....until I tried to show it off to the office. The crawls seem to work great and the interface stuff is working great...but the links created to the pages returned start out with "http://Localhost/Forest/about.html" this works fine on my test server ... but doe not work for remote users testing the site out.

Is it possible to configure the server name as an IP address (199.131.10.193 for instance) so that the results are created with the server name instead: "http://199.131.10.193/Forest/about.html"

I can't seem to be able to find hte config variable for server name .....

Thanks for any help!!!

How you config your webserver is up to you. Make it so that it's accessable to the world as well as itself by the same name or IP. Then use that name or ip in the base url you give to webinator. (ie There is no config variable for the server name. The server name is part of the base url).
