Help,

I followed instructions on a youtube video that perhaps didn't apply to me and now I can't access my finished locally hosted site. In WP settings I changed the wordpress address (url) and the site address from the local 127.0.0.1:8080 to my new site address. Now I cannot access my bitnami stack, my wordpress admin (dashboard) or anything! Stupid mistake! Any way to get back in?

Hi, you can restore your domain or IP address changing it in the database. Go to your phpMyAdmin application (http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin by default) and log in as "root" and the password the same that you set during the installation. Then change the "home" and "site_url" options in the "wp_options" database. You can find a quick guide at http://wiki.bitnami.org/Applications/BitNami_Wordpress/Troubleshooting_WordPress#WordPress_can_not_load_images_or_CSS

Tried that, but got "Safari can't connect to the server..." which also reminded me that in addition my MySQL database has stopped running and won't restart. Yikes. I am on OS X (10.6.8).
