server base url

[lik]

I deployed Confluence on an idle PC. I hope other team members can also access Confluence, but Confluence's server base url: http://localhost:8090, when other teams try to access the link, they cannot access it. how to solve this problem?

"localhost" always means "the current machine".  So when your people put in "http://localhost", the browser is trying to reach their machine, not your server.

In the short term, get them to use the ip address of the server instead of localhost.  My machines for example run on 192.168.1.143 so replace localhost with that.

In the longer term, you probably want to get your DNS set up so that it has a nice name that points to that ip address.  (e.g. http://ourpetjiraserver points back to the 192.168.1.143 address of your server)
