Going through the information you have provided, I can think of this solution.

You can configure Apache to use multiple ports, which in your case is 8080. (Keep the Wordpress settings intact)

1. Open Apache configuration File httpd.conf, find the line: Listen 80 and Type Listen 8080 in the next line:
Listen 80
Listen 8080

2. Find the VirtualHost portion for your Web Site config and Add *:8080
eg. VirtualHost *:80 *:8080

3. Restart Your Apache web server and test your website for the accessibility by typing ‘http://www.website.com:8080′

You may also have to configure your Apache to connect to the internet using a proxy.

Hope that helps.

I recently installed Wordpress on my computer with Apache listening to the default port 80. As I wanted to expose my site to the web so that my client can preview it on their own browsers, I did some port forwarding from my router for port 8080, and configured Apache to listen to that port instead of the default port 80. However, this kinda broke everything and I’m not able to access my Wordpress site after this change. I also tried editing the DB_HOST settings to ‘localhost:8080″ in my wp-config.php, but this didn’t change anything.

Do you have any idea on how I fix this? I hope I’ve provided enough information for a quick diagnosis. Thanks =]
