Strange Moodle problems

[Tricky_Dicky]

I've just installed Moodle on a test server running CentOS and it all seems fine on the local machine but when I try and access it from a remote machine it's as if the PHP isn't being parsed.

Do I need to set something within the PHP.conf file that I have missed or is it a security thing somewhere?

Any help would be much appreciated.

did you install and activate the php module for apache?

Hi,

Yes, PHP seems to be fully installed. I can see it's configuration on the server happily.

I think I've messed up the http.conf file somehow so that it works on the local machine but not on a remote machine, however I have no idea what I've done.

Check the moodle apache config or the moodle config file.

You need to check the server address that is stored in one of these config files as moodle seems to do url creation from a base address in one of the files IIRC.

Hi,

Thanks for that, can you be any more specific about what it is I need to check?

Just for some further info; this is my moodle config file:
<?php /// Moodle Configuration File

unset($CFG);

$CFG->dbtype = 'mysql';
$CFG->dbhost = 'localhost';
$CFG->dbname = 'moodle';
$CFG->dbuser = '********';
$CFG->dbpass = '*******';
$CFG->dbpersist = false;
$CFG->prefix = 'mdl_';

$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://localhost/moodle';
$CFG->dirroot = '/var/www/html/moodle';
$CFG->dataroot = '/var/www/moodledata';
$CFG->admin = 'admin';

$CFG->directorypermissions = 00777; // try 02777 on a server in Safe Mode

require_once("$CFG->dirroot/lib/setup.php");
// MAKE SURE WHEN YOU EDIT THIS FILE THAT THERE ARE NO SPACES, BLANK LINES,
// RETURNS, OR ANYTHING ELSE AFTER THE TWO CHARACTERS ON THE NEXT LINE.
?>

Just for some further info; this is my moodle config file:

$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://localhost/moodle';

This would be the line that you need to change.

Change localhost to the IP or DNS name of your server.

You are a star! That's sorted it.

All I need to do know if configure it
