    application works using port 80. Changed everything to use port 8080.
    no errors in PHP and Apache logfiles
    Wampserver is green
    port check shows: Your port 8080 is actually used by:
    Server: Apache/2.4.9 (Win64) PHP/5.5.12
    url shows: http://localhost:8080/

    when going to local host from wampserver or thru url always get
    This Page Can’t Be displayed
    What us should I check? Thanks Ed

    Hi Ed,

    Using WAMP’s phpMyAdmin, edit the siteurl and home fields of the wp-options table in your site’s database to reflect this new ‘location’. Both should now be http://localhost:8080

    Once that is done, you will be able to log into the dashboard. Once there, install and run this plugin to update the rest of the site’s URLs:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-search-replace

    After that is done, go to Settings > Permalinks and just click ‘Save’; this rebuilds the .htaccess file for the site.

    Cheers!

    I found the siteurl table and got it changed. when I changed it I got: UPDATE mysql.wp_options SET option_value = ‘http://localhost:8080’ WHERE wp_options.option_id = 1;

    I didn’t see any other tables to change. I am missing something since I still not getting the main menu.

    Thanks Lyle for your help (Ed)

    The database url needed to be changed. The the biggest problem I had is I changed the wrong wp-config file. I had been changing one in my WAMP directory. After putting in debug with no results I started looking for another file and found one in WWW which is my root directory. Thanks again Lye for your help.
