I just install MyBB on my computer.
It looks fine doing it on the computer itself.
When I go to my other computer (in LAN) and go this forum, it is half working with no graphic and some things are missing.
See screenshot.
I cant figure it out.
If it's a local install it's only going to work on that computer, the settings will be for a local installation, i.e. the Board URL will be
http://localhost/.... so it won't work anywhere else.
How do I get it to work so I can see it fine looking from outside?
Eventually, I want to open port so I can do it from outside.
Thanks for helping.
Upload it to Hosting... :l
Are you serious? WOW
I want to run the forum from my home PC.
It cant be done?
I also went to look at the error at the bottom of the webpage and it says
'lang' is undefined.
In General Settings, change your "Board URL" from "localhost" to your local IP, something like 192.168.0.103.
When you're ready to open up port 80, change it again to your domain name or WAN ip (98.12.34.56 or something)
EDIT: Port
I got it working!
I went to see the gif properties and see that it has all these
http://localhost/x.gif on it and no wonder!
BTW, localhost is not friendly with php unless you comment it out in host etc directory. I learn this today.
Now I went to Board URL in admin and put in my real domain now its working.
You can run forum from your own PC. Its free.
CAwsome, I figure it out. And that work too. Porn 80? Hey, I want to be a pawn star!

I worry about someone finding an exploit that gives them filesystem access, then seeing all the private shiz I've got on my drive. (Though
very unlikely)
EDIT: Whoops, that's supposed to be port.
CAwsome,
I am actually going to be running this forum inside a VMware.
I wish one day to run it all in Ubuntu Server. I got alot of Linux to learn!
I have two questions.
I prefer to run this inside a folder, like
http://192.x.x.x/forum
So I have to create a /forum folder.
My next question, do you know anything about URL cloaking? Will this work within a folder?

'Cloaking' is just the act of making a 100% by 100% frame. You can do that with any URL. Would look something like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Your Title</title>
</head>
<frameset rows="*" framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="no">
<frame src="http://12.34.56.78/forum" scrolling="auto" noresize="noresize" />
</frameset>
</html>
I don't recommend it though. Since the URL never changes, individual pages can't be bookmarked, and it won't do you any good for SEO.
You can make a /forum folder easily, just change the board URL in Settings to reflect it.
