Sugar URL from Workstation

[NickOnTheNet]

Hi Forum!,
ok, I have checked the posts and I have found a number of posts which almost cover this but not quite!

Latest Sugar Stack (MySQL) installed on my windows 2003 Server (Port 80) at http://127.0.0.1/sugarcrm/ or http://localhost/sugarcrm/
Starting Firefox on the server lets me into Sugar with my Admin profile, all is ok.
Trying these URLs from my workstation just gives page not found errors.

I tried Look@Lan to try and see what is going on and it locates the mysql instance on port 3306, I tried to scan this with telnet and find that my workstation "station5.leifeld1.local" is not allowed to connect to this MySQL Server.

Q. How do I tell MySQL to allow the connection from my machine and what URL do I need to connect to the CRM?

Thanks for your consideration

The problem isn't the MySQL connection, but instead, the IP of the server.

When you are on the server, the URL works because 127.0.0.1 and localhost both tell the browser to look at the local system. If you do that at the workstation, it is doing the same and since the application is not installed there, it fails.

To access it from the workstation, you need to put in http://IP_OF_YOUR_SERVER/sugarcrm

You might also need to update your Sugar config.php file to reflect that same IP/hostname so everyone can access it.
