    Simple one this ..

    Anyone know how to change the address in the url bar from

    localhost/<myapp>

    to

    <my_dsl_ip_address>/myapp

    I think it might be something to do with virtual host configuration in
    apache but i'm not sure

    Cheers

    If you are connected from localhost to localhost, and you typed localhost in the address bar, what do you expect?

    If you're forwarding the port from a gateway or whatever, when people outside look at it they'll see the real IP/hostname.

    NO reason why typing in http://my_dsl_ip_address/<myapp> shouldnt work either?

    I have seen in the case of some windows deerfield products, that it would go out, come straight back in via the switch and somehow the NAT software wouldn't forward it right.

    In short, try a few products, it won't work with all of them if it goes out and straight back in. With anybody on the internet it doesn't make a difference, it only does for you.

    Then again, once it works everywhere on the internet, does it matter that much to you if you see localhost or yourdomain.com, in short try using your ip address/hostname, verify it works from a few sites on the outside, and if you care really do care that much about seeing it internally, setup a local dns server to point at a 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x or whatever
