Apache Friends Support Forum

Hi,

I am rather puzzled and unable to solve this problem of mine. I run xampplite and wordpress.

I started apache to listen at port 80. I can access http://localhost/ and http://localhost/wordpress. After changing the apache setting to listen to port 90, i can access http://localhost:90/ but not http://localhost:90/wordpress/

Anything I missed out?

Thanks.

Yes, a fully detailed description of the behaviour including all error messages (if there are any). "I can ... not access ..." is barely nothing.

Yes - Its not such a complete mystery

Did you change the URL in WordPress > Dashboard > Settings > General?

WordPress (like most scripts) has to generate the URL for every action it takes from its own configuration.

You will need to switch back and make the change, then try it. If you DID change the WordPress URL's see the next line and its link:

There's a real possibility it won't work at all - read the last post in this Wordpress topic:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/running-on-port-8080

Now that you know the 'reason' - realize that this is a WordPress issue not a XAMPP one. If my recommendation does not work, you should inquire on a WordPress forum.

Oh yeah, Gooogle is your best friend.

Good Luck

Yeah! I got it. I changed the wordpress URL to reflect the port change and it worked! Thanks!
