Hopefully, a simple question.



I have set up a FreeBSD server to develop a web app for a client.

my system is:



           FreeBSD                       Version 5.2

           Apache             Version 2.0.47

           MySQL             Version 4.0.16

           MySQLCC                     Version 0.9.3

           PHP                 Version 4.3.3



Now I am able to create the pages, (using Quanta 3.1.4).but I cannot view
them 

from anywhere except the FreeBSD box.

 

Before I upgraded from FreeBSD 4.9 to 5.2, I could get to the site from my
W2K system, 

using a VirtualHost setting and browsing to http://10.0.0.27:5000/login.php

 

Forgive me for not answering your question directly;
I'm going to suggest something else; it's possibly better,
and will eliminate a few issues regarding your network
setup in general:
Why not try name-based virtual hosting?  Set up
the following in httpd.conf and restart Apache:
   #
   # Use name-based virtual hosting.
   #
   NameVirtualHost *:80
   # VirtualHost example:
   # Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
   # The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
   # server name.
   #
   <VirtualHost *>
       ServerName my.examplesite.net
       DocumentRoot /path/to/mydocs
       ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   # whatever else, log files, etc
  </VirtualHost>
Then set the hosts files on both server and
clients (esp. clients) something like:
   # Dummy entries for intranet and test sites

       10.0.0.27   my.examplesite.net
       10.0.0.27   my.otherexample.org
Access the sites using the names you've
assigned...
   http://my.examplesite.net/login.php
