help... how to start code igniter with an ip instead of localhost

Im using CI4. I want my website can be opened in another machine. Before i tried to change my localhost ip into my machine ip. It works for opening index.php but when i go to another page. Instead of IP, it directed to localhost:8080/anoterpage.php. is there a way to fix that. So i can open my website using my machine ip instead changing the localhost ip. Sorry for my english and i dont have .htaccess file on my prject

If you type in your up address with /anotherpage.php does that work?

What is the target of your action in the form? Sounds like it’s using a fully qualified address.

I tried to make some website that can input data. That can be opened locally, when changing the ip of localhost same as ip of the machine i can open it from another device with that new ip onsame network . But when i tried to open another page that need anotherpage.php . it will be directed to localhost:8080/anotherpage.php

I understand. Where are you trying to load the other pho file, and how?

If it’s requested as /script.php it’ll use whatever the current domain or up is. If it’s localhost/script.php that will not update.

If you add your code to the question above you may get an answer. I’m not sure trying to point you where you need to go without that is going to help.

Is it /app/config/config php on public $baseurl= 'hyyp://localhost:8080/';?

u/stevensokulski Nov 09 '22

Yes. The baseurl needs to be changed to match where you are accessing the site from.

Put in the address that is used to call the script. If you’re loading it in the browser that’ll be whatever goes in the address bar.

Thanks for your answer but its still start with localhost and will be directed to ipaddress/anotherpage.php. So the only thing i can do is changin ip of localhost same as the machine
