Permission issue.
October 22, 2009, 02:44:38 am
Hi guys,

I have this odd issue. Im currently using WAMPServer to host mySQL and also my PHP.

OS : Windows Vista
CMS : Joomla.

And i installed CiviCRM on my personal desktop. However, when i used my colleague's pc to access the CiviCRM, it does not show the full administrator interface with all the menu's. Im at a loss about this.

my sample address would ... http://localhost:8080/crm/administrator

to access to my website from another pc would be http://my-ip-address:8080/crm/administrator.

It does open the site, but not with all the full functions.

CiviCRM cannot handle multiple urls via different hostnames. You should always use:

http://my-ip-address:8080/crm/administrator

check:

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Moving+an+Existing+Installation+to+a+New+Server+or+Location

to move all your config info to the new url

So ur saying that if i move it to a new url, I might be able to get it to work ? I think it would be the same thing as I will move it to a centralized server that has probably a name like "server2". However, Im trying to make this only available internally within the company and not make it online to the internet.

u can keep it internal to your company. It just needs to be accessed via the same name from all locations

so:

http://my-ip-address:8080/crm/administrator

from everywhere

Ok,

here's the situation, from my pc...i just need to key in http://localhost:8080/crm/administrator      to go in....    but from another pc... i would have to key-in http://192.168.1.2(localhost=my pc just now)/crm/administrator to go in....i cant use localhost to go in as its not on their localhost...in the first place..i am using this method to access my pc from another location...

thats y im wondering why i cant see the same menus and administrator console from another location when im just accessing to my pc ? which is the 192.168.1.1(example)...

as explained above, due to a limitation in civicrm, you will need to use: http://192.168.1.2 even from your PC

you need to install civicrm using the base url:

http://172.16.2.157/crm   

move all the urls in the settings file to the above. Check

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Moving+an+Existing+Installation+to+a+New+Server+or+Location

and follow the steps there to ensure u've covered them all
