I have a brand new install, can access the wiki on the localhost, but cannot from other systems. I can browse to the host itself, proving apache is working, but when attempting to access the wiki firefox complains with:

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost

I have modified httpd and httpd-xampp conf files to change the server name and allow from all access. This appears to be a config issue with the wiki but I can't figure out where.

Any and all help is appreciated.

You should set Manual:$wgServer to the public IP address or host name, accessible from all machines. It may be "localhost" now, which is a special hostname pointing to your own machine.

That worked. Thanks for helping a noob!
