WordPress 2.7 css/display problems

    I recently installed wordpress on the macs we have in the newsroom at my college paper. The purpose was to get people into the habit of using the internet and a cms for news delivering.

    The problem being that, while on the local machine, css and php are rendered fine, any other computer cannot properly show it.

    This is also not the first time I’ve encountered this. I had built an experimental server using Ubuntu with lamp installed. WordPress 2.7 could not display the css at all, and instead rendered a page that was similar to something you’d find in 1996. I downgraded to 2.3 on my personal server, and the issue was resolved. Is there perhaps another way?

    Included are different images of each computer.

    This is the Local server
    Local

    This is a machine on the network

    Non-local

    Any assistance would earn you undying love and probably good karma.

    I solved the problem.

    The fact is that on a local install of wordpress, it sets itself up to refer to localhost as the default URL. While fine on the computer you’re using as a server, it doesn’t really work when other computers look it up.

    Simply change this value under Settings to the computer’s local IP.
