Brilliant. Works like a charm.
I’ve wasted hours Googling for “wordpress ssh-tunnel”

You wouldn’t believe the search term that turned up this working solution :
“wordpress url 301 ssh-tunnel”

I had to search for the plugin directory though.
If it helps someone, it’s in wp-content/plugins/

Thanks for the good info. If you have info for a fix for joomla too please email me. Thx.

Because of my ISP blocking the 80 port I had to go around this issue by using another port. Regular websites would work now, but not wordpress and joomla. I checked the HTTP headers and I noticed I was getting a 301 redirect without the port number attached. You information is very good, that fixed the wordpress redirection issue. Now it’s time to figure out Joomla.

(btw this website came out very helpful for checking the HTTP headers: http://www.rexswain.com/httpview.html. I needed to use an external tool as locally of course wordpress worked fine.)

I cannot thank you enough. I have been messing around for 2 days trying different configurations with Apache. I was initially running WAMP server on :80 using virtual hosts for seperate WP installations. I then installed IIS 7 and it hogged port :80 so I have had to configure WAMP to :8080 but couldn’t get WP to work. This worked a dream, I needed step 3 too. Thank you.

I have a couple of 2.8.3 installations working fine, so the instructions above should still work. Curiously, I just discovered that one of them does not even have the “Disable Canonical URL Redirect” plugin activated, but I can still hit http://localhost:8082/ just fine.

Can you try changing siteurl and home in the db to include the host:port-number?
