I have what I believe is the same issue.

I've setup wamp on my machine. My IP is of the format 10.###.###.x and subnet 255.255.0.0

Wamp (Apache) is running on the 8080 port.

I can access my 'websites' fine from my local machine but once I try from the network it fails.
I'll be more specific, it loads the page I pointed it to but fails to load any assets (pictures, css, etc)

Reason is from any other computer it tries to load assets from localhost instead of my external IP (aka LAN IP)

So I see connecting to localhost.. and this obviously times out and no assets are loaded.

I was looking at adding the UseCanonicalName On and having ServerName 10.###.###.x:8080
I tried Listen 8080 and Listen *:8080 as well. Nothing changed.


When I hover the cursor on links i see they all show [localhost] instead of [10.###.###.x]

Why is this happening and what should I do to solve it.

Thanks for reading guys

When I hover on links from an external machine

PS: The server is set to be Online and I've restarted the service several times. No success
Windows firewall is turned off

Hi thanks for the reply.

Yes I double checked, like I said no firewalls are up.

Everytime i access the page from a computer on the lan it changes all links on that page to localhost and if that page references other files (images, css, etc) it tries to look for them at [localhost] location.

follow my guide. >>[pampserver.com] and explain where it goes wrong...

thanks i'll try it tomorrow. the wampserver is running on my machine at work.

i can't help but think something might be missing from my hosts. oh well we'll see. worse case i'll reinstall wamp and go from there

Here's what happened.

Before I attempted a reinstall of Wamp. I reinstalled the blog itself. Instead of running the installation script from my localhost I did it manually and all links worked properly this time.
So for some reason the setup had every reference point to localhost instead of my LAN IP address.

Go figure. Anyways this is working now.

Another topic certainly, I was wondering if there was a way to automate a full proper backup of Wamp.

Thanks for the help.

yes u could use batch to do this. just make a batch file that will copy everyfile in the wapm folder into another folder. you could also use windows scheduler to run this batch file once a day a week or watever

I thought about this and I was wondering what happens if at this very moment the database is being written to? corruption?

not a good idea. Ur bewst to switch wamp off to do this.

U can use a batch file i made to shut down wamp while u make a backup

cheers mate. i'll try it out tomorrow.

does anyone of you know of a decent blog that can use ldap authentication? i've installed b2evolution. Awesome all around except it requires a plugin for ldap auth and it's quite old, not maintained and with no documentation.

zimbra. but im not sure its so suited to ur use

i'll look it up.

plus i need to understand how to integrate it in my php scripts

You need to setup Access, DNS, and VH; Access for permission to connect to your Wamp PC, DNS to tie domain(s) to your Wamp PC, and VH to host multiple Domains/Websites/IP's and even you have only 1 Domain/IP, you should use VH to set it up w/ the site you want to show up first on top and localhost on bottom and others in middle if having more than 1 site; w/ VH, other PC's, no matter w/i or outside LAN, can access/see websites/contents on your wamp PC. If dont have real Domain, just skip DNS guide

To setup Access, follow this
