[solved]Prestashop Installed but Inaccessible by Other Computers on LAN

[prestaplusplus]

I just installed version 1.5.5 and I access this on the local machine at http://localhost/prestahop. However when I try to access from another computer on my LAN using the machine's IP (http://192.168.123.10/prestashop) it does not work.

 

Please note I have numerous other sites in the root folder and I am able to access them from other LAN machines at e.g. http://192.168.123.10/othersite.

 

I don't see any entry made by the Prestashop installation in httpd.conf, specific to the Prestashop folder file that would warrant this behaviour. There is also no .htaccess file in the prestashop root folder. 

 

Please how do I fix this?

when you try to open your store from other computer, what you see?

try this:

 

back office-->prefernces-->seo & urls

 

scroll down to domain name

 

change domain name to ip address

From an ipad "Safari cannot open the page because it could not connect to the Server"

 

But I just noticed as soon as I click "Go", it switches the contents of my address bar from "http://192.168.123.10/prestashop" to "http://localhost/prestashop/index.php?" and then shows the error message above.
