Changing Port Number

  • Hi, I’ve hunted around trying to find an answer to this, but with little luck.

    We’ve had a developer produce a new website for our company using WordPress. He did this by installing MAMP on his MacBook and building the whole site on there. During the setup, he set Apache to use port 8888.

    I am now trying to move the development environment to a windows box prior to uploading it to our final webhost. I’ve installed XAMPP and configured it to port 80, but every single time I try to move the wordpress content and database, all the formatting ends up broken. If I change the port in Apache to use 8888, then it all works fine. But obviously, we can’t have our final live server running on port 8888.

    I had tried exporting the database and going on a find/replace spree through the SQL script, replacing all instances of “https://ourdomain.com:8888” with “https://ourdomain.com” but that still leaves me with a broken website.

    Does anybody have any idea how I can this change?
