   I have installed WordPress 2.8 on my host's server. They setup a sql db for me. IThe install worled oK, but trying to access the blog
   http://www.diagesis.com/blog i get redirected to http://localhost/blog/

   (in chrome I simply get page cannot be found)

   I have set both the wp_options siteurl and home to http://www.diagesis.com/blog (using phpMyAdmin).

   If I set wp_options home to http://localhost:11031/blog/ I get the home page loading OK, but all post links point to http://localhost:11031/blog/

   I found this on the web, but do know what it means:"Ensure Apache ServerName directive is set to the external IP/Domain name"

   thanks.

   In The above, the only way I could get the home page working was to set wp_options home to http://localhost:11031/blog But all links were obviosly pointing to the local host...

   I have now set wp_option home to be http://www.diagesis.com/blog and the page redirects back to http://localhost/blog/

   Has any of this to do with "Ensure Apache ServerName directive is set to the external IP/Domain name"?

   Did you have set up any kind of mod_rewrite rules for your blog?

   Check in .htaccess file if there are any redirection code exists..

   There are no .htaccess files

   Even though the page redirects to http://localhost/blog/ the browser reports the page is not found.

   There is no error log but there is log entry that refers to:
   "http://www.diagesis.com/blog/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron"
