Hello, i'm Faizal, currently new to Mahara. I already follow all the step installing Mahara and configure the site. The problem is that my college can't access my localhost properly.

The thing that only appear when they try to access my mahara site are all the words (plain text), Introduction, Login etc and white background. There is no logo, images, or themes etc. Even the Login button are not accessible. So, they only stuck in logged out homepage. But on my view on the pc i currently edit the site is fine. it can login,edit, etc.

Help me please. Can't find tutorial to fix this.

This is usually caused by an incorrectly specified wwwroot url in your config.php file.  You should change it to be the same url that the others use to access your site.

I already try to change it before, but it won't works.

I test with various way, does below is right?

$cfg->wwwroot = 'http://xx.x.xxx.xxx/mahara/';

or

$cfg->wwwroot = 'http://xx.x.xxx.xxx/mahara/htdocs';

(as this is what my college use to access my site on the url)

or just set it to be:

$cfg->wwwroot = 'http://xx.x.xxx.xxx/

do we need to change for the https also?

FYI, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, XAMPP 1.73a, Mahara 1.2.5.

I want to test it using LAN network using my University lab. Do it have any problem if its a static or dynamic IP? as it's only LAN for it.

I already try to install it several times even using Windows, using older version of XAMPP or even varies it with older version of Mahara. still won't works. It's really frustrating.

What can I do to fix this?

I fixed it. yeah, fix it by set the $cfg->wwwroot = 'http://xx.x.xxx.xxx/mahara/htdocs'

to be $cfg->wwwroot = 'http://xx.x.xxx.xxx/mahara/htdocs/'

which mean put the '/' at the back. Thx by the way. (n_n)
