I still think it’s not needed for WP to have non-relative paths in the database at various lacations (and uses these for building the site, so themes and most links won’t load after the adress changes). Using phpnuke i never had a problem like this ??

mm, my IP changed again
editting only values siteurl & home in SQL didn’t help;
had to do find/replace, drop old database, and imported editted Db thing again ??

I now installed with ip https://localhost/wordpress

At least i can test it again locally ..
anyone knows a solution ??

I had a similar problem, i installed WP on local server, but my IP changed. Originally I entered my (old) IP adres.
in Admin > options >
WordPress address (URL) xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port/wordpress
Blog address (URL): xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port/wordpress
After my IP changed the stylesheet didn’t load
and i couldn’t acces the Admin > options > page , not even when i changed the redirected IP in the url. (but i might have made a typo)

What i did was export the database [wordpress] and did a find/replace for old/new IP, dropped the old database, and imported the editted one. Worked !

From what i read here only these 2 values had to be editted through phpmyadmin MySQL or MySQL Query Browser
(no need for export/edit/drop/import)

MySQL:
SQL query: SELECT *
FROM wp_options
LIMIT 0 , 30
[find these values and edit the IP in them]
option_name
siteurl
home

All in all i’m happy it worked, but i think it’s a bit strange WP has to be changed everytime my IP changes.
OK, i could get a DNS entry https://www.myserver.com, but i think such problems shouldn’t arise i an otherwise fine CMS.

BTW when i fill in only ‘/wordpress’ without the IP in above fields in admin> options WP redirects to page with text (something like:)” you havent installed WP yet .. goto config.php” ??

It’s weird that WP uses these values within the site while it could use relative paths ‘/wordpress’ or just ‘/’

Or did i do something wrong in the install ?
