Wordpress/Domain configuration
Posted: Thu Oct 13, 2016 6:10 pm
I have installed WordPress on my QNAP, and created a blog: from inside my LAN, using local address, it works fine.
Now, since I want to publish it online, I bought a domain.
1) I Associated the domain with: <my_wan_static_ip>/WordPress
2) Changed in the WordPress general tab the URL from <my_local_ip>/WordPress to <my_domain>
3) Added in my qnap /etc/hosts file a line: <my_local_ip> <my_domain> (seen in a post on the forum that this has to be done, as far as I had understand...)
Now, using <my_domain> or <my_local_ip>/WordPress, I can see something about my site, but seems that wordpress is not loaded correctly, and some pages, the theme and so on are not displayed. Nor I can administrate WP...
I had to revert using phpMyAdmin the 2 URL options in WP to regain control on it...
What I did wrong?
Any suggestion to do things in a better way?
