Hi mediawiki. For school I need to host an mediawiki server. The installation went fine but accesing the web interface with another computer brings problems, I hope someone can help me.

1. When other people try to find my server they only can detect it with http://(IP-adress) but when they want to go to another subject (lets say they're on my homepage and want to go to ''history'') the URL (IP-Adres) loops to http://localhost and then it gives and error. But they can find it by typing (Ip-Adres)/history but by clicking manualy the url changes and it gives an error instead of the history page.
2. I'm hosting my server in XAMPP and when I go to localhost I instantly come on the XAMMP page instead of my mediawiki page, is there a way to change that?

Windows 10 Xammp , apache & MySQL

Thanks

1. This error sounds familiar, and I'd wager a guess that the value of $wgServer is set incorrectly. This value should be set to the correct web address (assuming you have one), or the current IP-Address of the server.
2. In which directory have you installed MediaWiki? XAMPP might have its own startup page in the root directory and apache might not know that it should use index.php in the MediaWiki directory a starting point.

Thanks for the response I'll check out your sugestions :)
