# Wrong file path (css …)

 * Hi all,
 * I have a huge problem.
    I want to install a new wordpress on our server.
 * If I open the install page the page is loading but the css (and other) files 
   have the wrong URL.
 * I installed the wordpress here:
    – [https://wp.mywebsite.de](https://wp.mywebsite.de)
 * If I enable firebug “network traffic analysis” I can see that the first file (
   setup-config.php) is loading from the correct url:
    – [https://wp.mywebsite.de/wp-admin/setup-config.php](https://wp.mywebsite.de/wp-admin/setup-config.php)
 * But ALL other files are broken because they all have the wrong url (a LOCAL url):
   –
   [https://10.1.15.21/wp-includes/css/buttons.min.css?ver=4.8.2](https://10.1.15.21/wp-includes/css/buttons.min.css?ver=4.8.2)–
   [https://10.1.15.21/wp-admin/css/install.min.css?ver=4.8.2](https://10.1.15.21/wp-admin/css/install.min.css?ver=4.8.2)–…
 * The wrong address “10.1.15.21” is our INTERNAL IP address from the webserver.
 * Why is wordpress using the INTERNAL address for this files and not the external
   address (url)?
 * Where can I change this?
 * Maybe wordpress is using an php-server-variable like:
    $_SERVER[‘SERVER_ADDR’]-
   or- $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] ???
 * Need help please!!!
 * thanks,
    jup

 * In the database the root is listed. Update the options table, specifically the
   siteurl and home fields. Alternatively, you can update the in wp-config.php by
   adding the following…
 *     ```
       define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
       define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');
       ```

 * everything fine 🙂
    I just installed without stylesheet-files.
 * no problems during installation.
    after that I changed the 2 URLs directly in
   the options-table (database).
 * works fine.
 * thanks!!
