    I am totally new at site designing using Xampp and I changed my site url and wordpress address from http://localhost/wordpress to http://modelicious.me.
    I totally lost login access to my site.
    I used the phpmyadmin database and edited the site url and home in the wp_options back to http://localhost/wordpress. But I only get the login page and as soon as I fill in the username and password, it takes me back to the login page but with header warnings.

    What to do??

    Change it back/ change properly.

    – Codex has an article on Changing The Site URL, you can edit values in database or override them in config.

    Changing The Site URL

    Also, you can assign a virtual host name to the computer running XAMPP. This makes it easy to access Apache on your LAN. Particularly useful if your router uses dynamic IP allocation. You need to make an entry in httpd-vhosts.conf. I wouldn’t assign a host name that could be resolved by DNS. I use “apache.lan” for my virtual host. Each computer used to access Apache will also need an entry made in their hosts file. The virtual host name can be used in WordPress as well.

    Also for LAN use, configure your computer’s firewall to allow local traffic to and from Apache. Depending on how your router is set up, you may need to configure port forwarding for Apache to be accessible over your LAN. Even though XAMPP is supposed to be safe from outside access once properly configured, I sleep better by restricting access to all folders to all, then allowing only the local IP range used by my router.
