http://localhost/wordpress?

When I attempt to access the Access BitNami WordPress Stack, the server redirects to the network gateway with a very long load time. Where do I go to update settings for wp stack to reference http://127.0.0.1/wordpress rather than http://GATEWAY/wordpress?

Thanks in advance,
Bill

Hi,

You have several options:

1. Include a new entry in your “hosts” file to your machine can change GATEWAY to 127.0.0.1. The hosts file is “/etc/hosts” for Linux and OS X and “C:\system32\drivers\etc\hosts”.

2. You can change the base IP address in the administration panel, in the “settings” tag.

3. You can change the base IP address in the MySQL database:

mysql -u root -p -e “USE bitnami_wordpress; UPDATE wp_options SET option_value=‘http://NEW_IP/wordpress/’ WHERE option_name=‘siteurl’ OR option_name=‘home’;”

I hope it helps.

THANKs! The options you presented were very helpful.

How do I prevent the wp_options from being updated on startup?

Hi,

You can simply rename the “updateip” tool:

$ sudo mv /opt/bitnami/updateip /opt/bitnami/updateip-backup

I hope it helps.
