Wordpress blog?

[Gary.D]

Hey Guys.
I am installing wordpress to my website, please note the server is hosted and maintained by my dad.
We have it all installed, and on the local host it works like a dream, but when we put it through a proxy test it doesn't render properly.
Any one got any ideas what could be causing this?
If any of you want to see what its loading like heres the link:

Hi Gary,

As part of my 9-5 I deal with WordPress quite a lot. The problem is easily rectified, so long as you have access to phpMyAdmin (or SSH access to the server if you're comfortable using the MySQL monitor from shell).

You need to modify the following tables / rows in your WordPress database:

wp_options - siteurl (change this from 192.168.0.3 to http://www.gdphotographer.co.uk/blog)
wp_options - home (change this from 192.168.0.3 to http://www.gdphotographer.co.uk/blog)

You may also need to amend the wp_options - upload_path table too, depending upon the value that's currently in there.

Once you've made the changes to the database your site will render properly. Feel free to e-mail me if you need any further clarification.

Cheers,

Thanks Kevin.

I think we've come to the same point, but by different routes. The path was wrong, but I've managed to correct it in the Wordpress control panel.

I do have access to phpMyAdmin and if I get further problems, I'll do as you suggest.

Thanks again for your offer of help.
