No images when viewing over internal network
rv8
I installed geeklog 1.3.6 last night to try out. I've got it running locally on one of our Macs for testing (call it Machine A), and it works great when I access it from that machine. However, if I access it from another of our Macs (Machine , over our home network, I only get the text, but not the images.
I am accessing the page from Machine B using the URL http://192.168.123.120, where this IP is the IP of Machine A.
I looked at the page source when viewing the geeklog page from Machine B. I noted that the image URLs are absolute URLs, starting form 127.0.0.1 (i.e. localhost), which is obviously the problem.
Example:
img border="0" src="http://127.0.0.1/layout/XSilver/images/container-left-top-corner.gif" width="6" height="22" alt=""
I would like to be able to edit and preview my site on my laptop, sitting comfortably in front to the TV, watching the Packers smoke the Patriots. What do I need to do to get the images to come across the local network?
Not sure if this matters, but both Machines are Macs, running OS X 10.1.5. Apache 1.3 (according to the documentation package).
Thanks,
Kevin

Well, I thought I was over the hump on this problem, but it obviously isn't as simple as I thought.
I discovered that if I change the site URL to 192.168.123.120, everything looks fine on the machine that GL is on, and the other machine on my home network. But, I can only log in from the second machine. I need to change the site URL back to 127.0.0.1 if I want to log in from the local machine. This problem is discussed at http://www.geeklog.net/article.php?story=20020912055721562
So, is there any way to set things up so I can log in from either machine, and have the images come across to other machines on the home network? I can't be the only guy that works on a GL site from two different machines on a home network. Maybe I need to learn to set up a domain name server. I don't know squat about those

The reason people blame things on previous generations is that there's only one other choice.
