"you can try running on port 80 in the VM (and --redir tcp:80::80), setup apache mod_rewrite, or get wordpress to quit sucking. (there might be a more effective method, but i don't like wordpress, so have no idea what it might be.)"
For some reason qemu doesn't want to redir port 80 to the guest's port 80. I'm sure nothing else is listening on my host's 80. Any other ideas or possible solutions to this? Ringo
