  I have the following setup on a local PC to host my Blog:

  • Apache + MySQL with XAMPP v3.3.0.
  • WordPress site folder under C:xampphtdocsrealheroes
  • index.html edited to point to folder; $uri .= $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’]; header(‘Location: ‘.$uri.’/realheroes/’);
  • Set up router to Port Forward to hosting PC on LAN

  When I access the website through a PC connected to the WAN, outside the LAN, the Title page loads without images. There is no warning, they just aren’t displayed. When you click on one of the blogs, I get an HTTP Error 404.0 – Not Found, error code 0x80070002

  It also has the following information;

  • Requested URL http://localhost:80/realheroes…
  • Physical Path C:inetpubwwwrootrealheroes…
  • Logon Method + Logon User Anonymous

  The localhost/realheroes works correctly.

  Is it because the Physical Path is C:? If so, how do I correct the issue?

  Thanks!
