Hi

I have recently installed Mahara onto a Windows XP machine running EasyPHP 5+, Apache et al. After making some modifications to the PHP.ini file everything is looking good. However, if I try to access Mahara on another networked workstation (regardless of browser), the connection to the localhost folder works but only the text is displayed - images, template background and text boxes do not appear.

I suspect a filepath issue is the problem, i.e the file pathway points to the local c: drive instead of localhost. Maybe it is a quirk associated with using a windows XP workstation instead of a dedicated server? I already use Claroline as a learning platform on the same system without any issues.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

Usually this means you haven't set $cfg->wwwroot correctly in config.php: it should use a hostname that's available to the network.  See:
