What urls are entered in Settings -> General?

I tried the default https: and also http:
WordPress Address (URL)
https://ip.address.of.server/apps/wordpress
Site Address (URL)
https://ip.address.of.server/apps/wordpress
WordPress Address (URL)
http://ip.address.of.server/apps/wordpress
Site Address (URL)
http://ip.address.of.server/apps/wordpress
Unfortunately, I just broke something by trying another setting here and can’t access the WordPress admin page. Can you tell me which file contains these settings?
Thanks
Change the urls back. See Changing_The_Site_URL for details of how to do this correctly.

Back to the original problem, here are some config files in case this gives any insight:

I don’t know what a pastebin is.
This should be accessible:

Is this a locally hosted install?

I have this on an internal server at the moment, while I try to convert our old site. It is not accessible from the outside. Does that make a difference?
Yes – it may well do. But troubleshooting your internal server is really beyond the remit of these forums. Have you spoken to the server’s administrator?

I have connected the server to an external IP, and there is no difference when accessed using that. I will be administering the server, and neither our IT department or a Linux centric colleague have any suggestions.
Thanks!
I’m sorry but this seems to be well outside of WordPress, so there really is nothing else that I can offer. 🙁

You don’t think it has to do with any of the WordPress config files or database variables? I’m not sure why WordPress would come pre-configured to only support https. Thanks
Not as far as I can tell. WordPress is not pre-configured to use https or http.

It was the WordPress installer for my device (Netgear ReadyNAS 516) that assigned WordPress to an alternate port because 80 was being used by the administration manager to redirect to its https login.
It was necessary to disable that feature, change the port assignment for WordPress, and I also moved it into the website directory and updated the php database entries for home and site url using phpmyadmin so the new directory was included. A few files (images) had to be re-linked to the new directory, but other than that things seem to be working.
Thanks
