 * Hi guys,
    I have wordpress hosted on my LAMP at home that i have been using for
   a few months through my static ip address
 * Have just purchased a domain name.
 * I rang up tech support and was informed that i could simply perform a URL forward(
   which i now believe to be a http 301 redirect) to point the domain name at my
   LAMP server.
 * As soon as i attempt to do this, wordpress dashboard, logins, shopping cart functionaility(
   in fact anything it seems that writes to the database)…either displays a blank
   screen…or hyperlinks for that process do not work (eg login meta).
 * Is this kind of URL forwarding not suitable for linking domains with static ip
   addresses in WordPress?
 * _btw i have tried a clean install and the install falls over at the login part
   of the 5 minute install (clicking on the login button does absolutely nothing!)_
