Xampp, Virtual Hosts & WordPress URL

  • Hi,

    I have just set up Apache so that my WordPress site can run on a virtual host. In the httpd_vhosts.conf file I placed:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    DocumentRoot "/xampp/htdocs/mysite"
    ServerName www.mysite.net
    ServerAlias mysite.net mysite
    ErrorLog "logs/mysite-error.log"
    CustomLog "logs/mysite-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>

    And in the Windows (XP) hosts file I placed:

    127.0.0.1               localhost
127.0.0.1		www.mysite.net
127.0.0.1		mysite.net
127.0.0.1		mysite

    It all works fine, i.e. I put in https://www.mysite.net, mysite.net or mysite and I am taken to my WordPress site. However, when I click to read a post, the URL displays https://localhost/mysite/my-post/ rather than simply https://mysite/my-post/. Is there something additional I need to do so that all of the locations in the site will display without having localhost in the URL?

    Cheers for any help.

    EDIT: Just realised I was being silly. The option to change this is in the general settings!
