VirtualBox WordPress redirects to port 80

Question

I\'m running on OSX 10.9.2. I just set up LAMP on Lubuntu in VirtualBox so that I could run a development server through VirtualBox. I changed my /etc/apache2/ports.conf

Answer 1

I ended up following this guide: http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL

In my wp-config.php, I added the following two lines

define('WP_HOME', '<host ip address here>:8080/wordpresssite');
define('WP_SITEURL','<host ip address here>:8080/wordpresssite');

It's a little hacky, but it works for my own testing purposes. Also, apparently I've been running into an issue where localhost:8080/wordpresssite redirects to localhost/wordpresssite on Chrome. I think that this might be a caching issue, since it doesn't redirect when I'm in incognito.

Answer 2

Access your database and click in the options table.

Change Url to something like : http://10.165.12.167:8080/wp/

Where 8080 is your Apache port.

Clear your browser's cache and try again.
