One other thing that might be useful to add here is a small addition to the config.php file for those users who use UniServer on a laptop. Since the '''config.php''' file lists the wwwroot as &quot;localhost&quot; external users are unable to view your moodle site correctly. For that reason, I would recommend the following changes to config.php:
