I am stuck again cannot access my localhost right now, If i am accessing it using lynx ( running in centos) it says unable to contact localhost.
Except modifying the WP-config.php i also modified my VirtualHost.
Still working on how to fix my localhost

Well, since you were able to access the site before you didn't need to touch the VirtualHost settings. So just put that back to the way that it was before.

I now fixed and the syntax and also set the default VirtualHost. I still cannot access my Localhost using my Lynx (running in Centos server).

You returned the file to exactly how it was before you changed it?

@Joyfano Remember the golden rule!

Always take backup of any config file before you make any changes, so in case something goes wrong, you can always rename the backup file to original and check.

Thank you. i just learned that today. I edited my config file without any back up

I am now working on how to find the correct wp-config.php.
Is there any way/command that i can use to find it quickly?

scottalanmiller

@Joyfano you have to know what directory your web server is using.

Finally I made it

Does wordpress not send email by itself?
Do I need to configure postfix or something manually in order for wordpress to be able to send email?
I ask because my install works great, but will not send the registration email.
