I'm not sure this is the correct place to a question like this, but... here it goes...

I've been working around eZ Publish for a some days. Setting up the system on my local machine, and when I access the site I use the url "localhost". Then I changed it to be my static IP.

Access to the site has always been "localhost/index.php/blog" or the admin interface "localhost/index.php/blog_admin". The same goes with IP.

I would like to change this to IP = public interface. admin.IP = admin interface i.e. admin.127.0.0.1, can that be done?

You'll need to set up a virtual host setup: http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_6/installation/virtual_host_setup

If you want admin.127.0.0.1 to work you need to set that up as a host in your windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts file. However, you can't mix a IP and domain name, so admin.127.0.0.1 will not be related to your localhost IP in any other way that those numbers are a part of the domain name you choose.

You can do this: set up this in your hosts file:
127.0.0.1 blog.local admin.blog.local

Then you complete the virtual host setup with those domains and you'll be able to access
http://blog.local and http://admin.blog.local
allthough, only locally. Hope that helped a little

Thanks, that helped.

That I can't do admin.127.0.0.1 is good to know.

By local do you meen localhost? Like admin.localhost?
