Hee guys
We're building a demo game which uses a database connection (mysql). it loads profiles and information from the database. Everything works fine if the database is online.
But now i have to show the demo at a location where there's no internet. therefore i created a local apache and database server (using xammp) and it doesn't work anymore.
The website and database are working fine, but when i try to start the game it says:
*this is because i'm using a drupal website and want to do a drupal user check
** the website is located at localhost/evatool and the folder webservices contain the scripts which make it possible to connect to the database.
again, i'd like to remember that everything works fine when a change the location from localhost/evatool to a internet location (evaluatietool.inthere.nl)
I'm not an DNS expert, i must admit. Some help would be nice :)

"localhost/evatool" is not a host name. I guess only localhost would work fine ;)

Something is wrong with your url parser. Quote:DNS lookup failed: localhost/evatool

Check your windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file as admin and see if localhost is indeed mapped to 127.0.0.1.
