website help

[Supah]

im running my server on a diff computer that i own and i use team viewer to connect to it and im trying to setup the server website and when i type in localhost in the addres bar all i get is a link to teamviewer.com and it sais this site is running teamviewer and that is all i get

Hehe, that is because "Localhost" will only work for that computer the server is running on. Once you put in Localhost you are basically saying, I am playing on the computer that the server is running on. I am not sure if that helped or not. You will need to change the realmlist/name or something like that. I am not quite sure how to do that, I forgot. Sorry mate.

Hmm I am not quite sure, I have never had that problem. Soryy I am not much of help

[Troys]

so you tryed going on the site with the computer thats hosting it and you typed Http//:Localhost ?

[Sonic Waffle]

It might be because TeamViewer changes the Hosts file when it is connected to make it easier to find the server. Anyway, just type 127.0.0.1 instead and it should work.

well have you actual got an apache server for starters like wamp or xamp and made sure it is online if yes then have you made sure port 80 is open and again if yes have you typed in your dyndns into the web browser on both terms lol mmowned.com and www.mmowned.com you can choose if you put the http:// infront of it

1. if you're trying to connect to the website hosted on a different computer, it wont work, because localhost is connecting to the host on that one computer, instead try connecting via LAN ip
2. the host file uses localhost basically as a mask for 127.0.0.1 (similar to how dns masks your external ip)
3. if its on the same computer, check the webpage folder (www or htdocs, or w/e you use, depending on the computer) check if the files are all the same

thats all i can do for now :\
