I set the site address and install address URLs to be my xxx/ lab URL. Its almost working now. * Now, I’m getting the dreaded exceeded limit redirect error in the wordpress apache log. I think I need to tweek my wordpress .htaccess file. * I’ve been searching for a while now. Any pointers on how to fix this? I can see the main page of my wordpress site but any links to it have correct URL but they generate the internal-server error.

My reverse proxy is for the path /lab That is, I want my apache reverse proxy to map anything /lab/ to go to the WP/container on port 8100. * My wordpress is running on port 8100 in a container. I’ve left the WP Install Address URL unchanged — XXX:8100 I changed site address to XXX/lab * What I get back is some of the WP content properly puts XXX/lab but images, CSS, icons, etc all say XXX:8100 and not XXX/lab * Make sense? I can provide more specific URLs if you need. * Thank you, * Bobby Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total)
