    Help... lol

    I have just recently setup a webserver on my home pc. I installed apache, mysql, php, perl and every thing got setup great. I then installed Invision Power Board (IPB) on my site, and that worked great also. I then registered for a free domain at DynDNS, and it directed to my page perfectly.

    The problem is that all links on my page direct to 127.0.0.1 the "loopback" address.

    For example it would look like this:
    Code:
    http://www.127.0.0.1/whatever/whatever
    And because of this I or anyone else cannot browse my site. I do not know how to fix this and it is driving me mental.... lol

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. And I will reward whoever gives me the correct answer to fix it with 10 credits.

    Thanks in Advance,
    MRANDERSON

    I presume it would be that the links have been coded wrongly. Check them and see where they are programmed to lead, if you didn't code the template yourself then I presume that they would be default set to leading back to the homepage.

    When you set up Invision Power Board, you put 127.0.0.1 for your website. You have to put your dynDNS URL.
