Working on the Blog
As it happens, if you have your own webserver, using wordpress then of the settings make it diffecult to use the website while you are at home.
After setting the right URL for the blog in the WordPress configuration, the blog was no longer available for me at home. My router and server somehow do not work perfectly together. The blog wasn’t accessible through the local address in my network and the site URL was somehow redirected to nowhere. Probably the host header was changed. Because there are more websites running from my server I am using virtual hosts which look into the host header for which website to redirect to.
It was a long time ago but I had to edit the hosts file of my laptop. This was not the first time, but the last time was several years ago. Never thought I needed to do that again.
Took a while to find the file, but I finally found it here: “C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc”
After that it was just a simple adding the local ip adres from the web-server with the website URL following to make it work.

Now the blog is available to me when I am at home so I can make blogposts. When I have the time that is…
My Server is a Synology DS207+, this NAS actually works excellent in hosting for me!
