I’ve just installed WAMP and MediaWiki on a different box (a local machine on my network) however I want to view MediaWiki through my local machine and then add articles, etc. I installed MediaWiki on the remote box and configured it, I then returned to my local machine, typed in the IP address of the MediaWiki on the remote box (hsomething like http://100.100.100.100/wiki/index.php/Main_Page) and noticed that when changing preferences and saving the URL uses localhost and not the IP address (basically after I have posted via a Form Submit). Is this a setting I can change in WAMP or is it a setting I’ll have to change in MediaWiki?

You may have noticed I’m a bit of newbi to this kind of thing.

Many thanks

    Panic over, in the LocalSettings file for mediaWiki you can set the following $wgServer to your IP address.
