Second – it worked before like it is now. Thirdly – I’m not sure what do you mean “server url” vs. “WP url”/ because the site is not on the internet, there is only files in the computer (before I upload it to an external host) – the WP files are in the www\AHA4u directory and the database is in usr\local\mysql\data directory – just as it were when it worked previously. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-mismatch/page/2/#post-2222453) * What are the two urls in Settings -> General? * Thread Starter [glik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/glik/) * (@glik) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-mismatch/page/2/#post-2222454) * where do I find “urls in Settings -> General?” in what file or menu ? * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-mismatch/page/2/#post-2222455) * In your Admin area. * Thread Starter [glik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/glik/) * (@glik) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-mismatch/page/2/#post-2222457) * In the admin panel – where should I look it up ? – in the PHPinfo ? or in what other menue ? * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-mismatch/page/2/#post-2222458) * In your **WordPress** admin area.
