WordPress as Corporate Intranet (2 posts)

    Hello - I have just installed WordPress locally for it to be used as a Corporate Intranet. Installation went perfectly and everything works fine IF I am using the local machine. Before any configuration changes, WordPress is setup to use "localhost" - meaning that it doesn't work if I am trying to access WordPress from another PC. Obviously, there are several places where "localhost" needs to be changed to the host machine name ( or IP address ).

    If anyone can point me in the right direction as to where this change needs to made, that would be greatly appreciated.

    UPDATE: I changed "localhost" to the appropriate machine name on the WordPress general settings page - for both WordPress address and Blog address. I can now successfully access the blog from remote PCs by going to http://machine_name/wordpress

    However, when I try to login to administer WordPress ( from the local machine OR a remote one ), the login page http://machine_name/wordpress/wp-admin redirects me to http://machine_name/wordpress/wp-login.php?redirect_to=%2Fwordpress%2Fwp-admin%2F which looks like the exact same page. I am missing something....somewhere.....using http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin on the local machine still works fine...weird.

    Thanks in advance.

    You probably need to enter

    WordPress Url http://machinename/wordpress/ (this is where it is installed)
    Blog Url http://machinename/ (this is the url you want people to go to)
