Set $wgServer to a name or IP accessible from all machines in your network

Hi,

I have installed the latest version of media wiki on my workstation (Windows 7 system). Everything works fine when using it. If I am trying to access the localhost mediawiki site from another workstation within the LAN system it shows the start page of mediawiki but only the text mode (no images). Apart of it everything works fine. If have got no idea how to look for a solution. Do I have to give other users within the LAN special access rights to my xammp folder with the media wiki intallation? Looking forward to some answers.

I am having the same issue ... running the latest Mediawiki build, 5.2.38 for PHP and 2.2.5 for Apache. On the station where it is loaded, it looks fantastic, on a workstation that I am testing it on, it is only displaying in text mode. Any suggestions?

Sorry, PHP is 5.3.28

I found it ...

In your Apache httpd.conf file, change the wgServerName from localhost to the IP address of the machine running the WIKI if it isn't in DNS.

Worked like a champ.

It didn’t work for me i am using ubuntu and php7.0 ...is there a way to disable templete editing show it will show only clean text for MediaWiki 1.30 .?

so it will show only clean text for MediaWiki 1.30 .?
