Trouble instaling WP - adds :83 to domain (3 posts)

    So, I'm trying to install wordpress, and it looks like the installation has gone through, but I can't get the site to work.

    Here's the site:
    http://www.engr.wisc.edu/studentorgs/triangle/wordpress/
    Which looks weird, as if it can't load any of the CSS or anything.

    So I noticed all of the internal links start with
    http://www.engr.wisc.edu:83
    instead of http://www.engr.wisc.edu

    When I load a page without the port number, it loads fine, but still looks odd.
    I tried adding these two lines to wp-config.php:

    define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://www.engr.wisc.edu/studentorgs/triangle/wordpress/');
    define('WP_HOME', 'http://www.engr.wisc.edu/studentorgs/triangle/wordpress/');

    With those lines in, it not only doesn't load but Firefox complains that the page isn't redirecting properly. I dont' understand: where is all this redirecting happening? Is this an issue with our server?

    This issue persists after reinstalling everything, deleting all databases, etc.

    I removed the line redefining WP_HOME while keeping the other line, and I can now access the admin side of things, which is good.

    All the links are still broken on the main (external) page.
