I’m quite willing to start over. Should I start using mydomain.com or the forwarded.com domain? And how I start using a domain instead of localhost?
I guess I can start over by apt-get remove wordpress and then using phpMyAdmin to remove the database files.
I got the site url changed back to localhost using phpMyAdmin and opening the /wordpress/wp_options table and editing the siteurl field back to localhost. That allowed me to get back into localhost/wordpress/wp-admin and use that to change the WordPress Address back to localhost.
But that still doesn’t solve my original problem with the browsers showing only a text version of the page.
I think the problem starts with fact the I’m doing my own hosting on my personal computer and I’m hosting my own website using my domain name. So in order to host the blog site, I purchased another domain name and set it to forward to http://www.mydomain.com/wordpress/index.php
So, the question becomes, will this work and what settings to I use to get it to work?
