Re: Problems viewing Joomla site installed on XAMPP from a remote machine.

Thank Jerome and Kelsey!  I got it working.

I opened the configuration.php of the said Joomla site.  Then on this line reads $mosConfig_live_site = 'http://localhost/site';.  I simply changed the word localhost to the ip of my server.

And now it works.  Thanks a heap!

My thoughts too...please check configuration.php and make sure you use the correct internet name instead localhost.

My hunch is that you may have installed it using absolute paths rather
than relative paths. This is a pretty common mistake during
deployment.
