How do I install a private server?

    Trying to setup an internal private “youtube” like website for our internally produced videos.

    Have a Windows 2012 Server set up –
    Installed Apache
    Installed MySQL
    Installed PHP

    I think I have them configured properly… not 100%

    Installed WordPress via the Microsoft Web installer thingy. That seemed to work, and I have WordPress working on localhost.

    How do I not have it on localhost? When I iew the site from another computer I sort of get the site by direct IP but all types of formatting issues with ta very simple test theme.

    http://10.22.131.1/myvideosite — is how I have to access it but links go 404 when I click on them.

    Obviously I am missing a key networking setup here, and our IS isn’t very web savvy. They are more Oracle people.

    Help help is appreciated…. thanks.

    Brian

    You want to configure your apache to use “virtual host” sites. Then put the “domain name” of your service into the “hosts” file of the computers which need to access your server.
    Details on hosts file here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29

    At the moment you browsers are able to fetch the homepage of your website, but unable to get the css and image files because the web page does not give a working web address to find these resources. Look at your page with a browser inspector like “firebug” and you will see.
