i'm using apache to setup my home website for testing the drupal 4.6.x system.

just having a problem when i'm trying to access my website from other machine but the problem just didn't appear when i'm using the webserver itself to visit my drupal site. why?

220.166.249.239/drupal <--- this is my home webserver ip.

somebody please help if you know how to solve the problem.

In the file setting.php
find the "$base_url" you set it to http://localhost/
please change it to the Ip address of the server http://220.166.249.239/drupal/ or the domain name if you have.

try to view the page source to know why your images and other staff is not working well.

Just want to say Thankyou!

I'm newbie to html and so on :P Thus, there should be a big problem even if i view at the page source.

Another question here,
Is that my system is seriously vulnerable or dangerous since i'm exposing my ip as above?

If yes, what should I do to improve the system security?

Is there any software/tools that i can use to examine my home webserver's processing ability? I wish to know about how many user can access my webserver is consider the "maximum" workload. thankyou!
