Being redirected to 127.0.0.1 from Wordpress/Apache installation with AMPPS

I have installed AMPPS (Apache + MysQL) with Wordpress on a Windows 10 computer to quickly setup a website. The website is working fine locally.

Now, the problem that I have occurs when I try to access the website from another computer. When I enter the server IP ( http://219.223.239.3/ ) on another computer, a main webpage show with the main directories: enter image description here

This indicates that the other computer can connect to the server.

However, when I try to access the WordPress subdirectory on the server ( http://219.223.239.3/wp/ ), it redirects to http://127.0.0.1/wp/ and the webpage does not show. Hence, it seems that there is some configuration problem with WordPress or Apache.

enter image description here

To try to solve the problem, in Wordpress, I went to Settings>General, and I have set the "Wordpress Address" and "Site Addresss" to http://219.223.239.3/. Moreover, I have edited the Apache configuration file to change "ServerName" to 219.223.239.3:80. But it still does not work.

Otherwise, all the settings should be the default settings of AMPPS.

I am not very familiar with Apache.

Does anyone knows how to solve this issue?

Check the wp-config.php file in the root of your wp folder. I had the exact same problem and it turned out the credentials for establishing a connection to the MySQL database I had running locally were incorrect.

In the Ampps management console (typically located at localhost/ampps/ in your brower), open up PHPMyAdmin and check the user credentials for the database connection.
