How to Fix Broken Links in Local Installation of roots-ualib

This guide details the process of configuring a local virtual host for roots-ualib. This guide assumes that you have already installed roots-ualib according to the instructions on the 0. Quick Start page of the wiki, and that you are using version 5.0.3-2 of WordPress.

1. Add the following entry to your hosts file, replacing lib.ua.edu.local with whatever URL you would like to use to access the local site:

   127.0.0.1 lib.ua.edu.local

   If you are using Windows, the hosts file may be located in the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc directory. This entry causes any requests to lib.ua.edu.local (or whatever URL you chose) to be directed to your local computer.

2. Add the following line to C:\Bitnami\wordpress-5.0.3-2\apache2\conf\bitnami\bitnami-apps-vhosts.conf:

   Include "C:\Bitnami\wordpress-5.0.3-2\apps\wordpress\conf\httpd-vhosts.conf"

3. Replace the contents of C:\Bitnami\wordpress-5.0.3-2\apps\wordpress\conf\httpd-vhosts.conf with the following virtual host configuration, replacing lib.ua.edu.local with the URL that you chose in step 1:

   <VirtualHost *:80>
       ServerName lib.ua.edu.local
       ServerAlias www.lib.ua.edu.local
       DocumentRoot "C:\Bitnami\wordpress-5.0.3-2/apps/wordpress/htdocs"
   
       Include "C:\Bitnami\wordpress-5.0.3-2/apps/wordpress/conf/httpd-app.conf"
   </VirtualHost>

4. In C:\Bitnami\wordpress-5.0.3-2\apps\wordpress\htdocs\wp-config.php, change the lines

   $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] = 'localhost';

   and

   define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/wordpress');
   define('WP_HOME', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/wordpress');

   to

   $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] = 'lib.ua.edu.local';

   and

   define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
   define('WP_HOME', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);

   respectively, once again replacing lib.ua.edu.local with the URL that you chose in step 1.
