WordPress.org

   Hello - on the main page of the system settings in WordPress 2.8.4 I managed to type an incorrect URL (port 808 instead of port 80) where you type the address for the blog and website.

   Thus I am ofcourse locked out of WordPress and cannot set it back. I tried turning off mod_rewrite in apache but that did not help.
   Also noticed that the wp_config.php does not contain any such settings, so I guess it's buried deep within MySQL somewhere.

   Can someone please point me towards a way to reset this, so that I can get access to both my site and especially the admin panel again? Thanks!

   From that link, I used this advice, and it worked immediately.
   Thanks!

   Edit wp-config.php
   It should be possible to fix the site URL using a new feature -

   Add these two lines to your wp-config.php, where "example.com" is the NEW location of your site.

   define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
   define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');
   That should be it. If it worked, stop reading this page now.

   Thanks filosofo for the fix, implemented in 2.2.
