Hi There,

I'm running the bitnami wordpress stack locally on my macbook. Recently I've noticed that I've been having issues accessing the site when accessing internet from different places. I think this has to do with the fact that when I instal bitnami at home my local URL is: http://10.0.1.2:8080/ ...but then when I am using internet elsewhere its something like: http://172.20.10.2/

So I can go to http://172.20.10.2:8080/ welcome screen no problem, but I can't access the wordpress stack because WP is still using the old URL (my guess). It pretty much just times out.

Any suggestions on how to solve this? I can't work locally, if I can't access the instal, and I'm kind of stumped on what to do.

Also as an add on question: Is there any way to run bitnami locally without an internet connection?

Thanks!

Nadine

Hi,

Take a look at this Wiki entry. If you want to access to your Wordpress application only from your computer and without internet connection, you can set the Host option to 127.0.0.1 or localhost during the installation. The Stack sets this option to your local network address. In your case, when you installed the application your local network IP was 10.0.1.2. When you connect your computer to a different network this could be changed.

In the previous link you can find the command to change the IP address in the database without installing BitNami Wordpress again. I hope it helps.
