Apache problems

Greetings,
As this is my first post, I could be posting into the wrong category. Anyway, I have the following problem.

I wrote a php application. It runs fine on 127.0.0.1/ But I noticed that my mac translates 127.0.0.1 in G5.local

Now ofcourse my router does not know this name and so if I try to access my webapplication from another computer it does not work. So in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf I changed my servername to my IP address. When I do this on my linux box this problem is solved. Unfortunately it is not on my mac.

Now here comes the problem.
I can access the root directory, but cannot access any other directory.

Does anybody knows what is going on?

Thanks guys

whocares,

My router is a Dlink DI-704P. But I do not think it is that, cause my linux server does it all perfectly well.

Unfortunately at first sight my router can only manage rules for incomming and outgoing traffic and nothing for the internal routing stuff, so I cannot try it.
What I might do is configure my linux as a router and see what traffic is going on...

Thanks for the hint. I will check that out, but I am not convinced it is this..

Now as for the access privileges on the documentroot, they are all fine.
I changed the owner into www Which is according to httpd.conf the user who runs apache.

And Still no result, also I do get a 404 and nothing else.

Any ideas cause I am really not seeing it...

I am sorry

Hello again. It was my own stupid mistake.
The routing went wrong through the airport. When I connected my computer through LAN everything worked fine.

Now I know what is wrong I will figure it out. Thank you very much!!!

It was a good hint to check the router thanks!
