Installation of WordPress as an Intranet

    Hey all,

    I have been asked by my IT manager to look at getting a wordpress site setup to page our ageing Intranet page, I’m currently using the following:

    -a VMwared XP machine running on a server
    -XP installation has XAMPP installed ( http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html )
    -XAMPP’s wordpress addon (http://bitnami.com/stack/xampp)

    What I want it to do:

    I want to change the URL from 127.0.0.1/wordpress or localhost/wordpress to anything else without a forward slash, as I would to be able to point our domain control using an alias to pick the wordpress site up without having to type computername/wordpress ideally I would like it to be webops or vipgbrf.

    What I have done so far:

    I have followed every guide I can find when googling “Changing URL wordpress” all look like they should work but never seem to be for internal only sites.

    I have updated the wp-config files, I have done into my PHPmyadmin and updated the wp-options section and a few others that didn’t pan out to work.

    IF you need further information please let me know and I will provide you the information as soon as possible.

    Thank you all in advanced.

    if you have a windows based computer on the intranet, install WAMP. it will install mysql and apache server. then all you will have to do is install the wordpress into a directory on your localhost and happy days.

    http://localhost/newinstall
    http://ipaddress/newinstall

    Thank you for your update, but XAMPP is performing the same as what WAMP would do. Which means I already have Apache and MySQL and wordpress installed.

    I just need to change the address from localhost/wordpress to something like webops, but it will not allow me to do it, even with going to General > Settings or WP-config files etc.

    You need to get your IT folk to set up the DNS for that VM XP server so that others on your intranet can “see it” with whatever URL you want. THEN is when you change the URL in WP … NOT before 🙂
