Worpress - DCHP New IP Address

[jkhania]

I've run into a bump. I've installed Apache and Wordpress but my router has assigned my pi a new IP address 192.168.3.8 instead of 192.168.3.10.

Now when I try to log into the wordpress admin paged it auto routes its to .10. I've check and my router doesn't allow me to assign IP addresses without doing a bunch of networking voodo and my model isn't supported by dd-wrt.

Is there a place I can update the IP address in the wordpress php files or have them updated across the board?

Any machine that runs as a server on your LAN should have a fixed IPv4 address. You can normally do that in one of three ways

1. on your router control panel pages
2. on your DHCP server (if you run one that is independent of your router)
3. by hard coding an address on your RPi

Option one is best if your router supports it.
Option three can be done from the GUI or by hard coding in /etc/network/interfaces.
