WordPress is a free and open source content management system built on PHP and MySQL. More information about WordPress can be found here. You can find more information about your WordPress installation in the WordPress documentation.

Note: When WordPress is installed, the hostname and Apache port number are stored in the appropriate database. Changing the Apache port after installation will break your WordPress installation. Port migration tools are available for WordPress. It is generally recommended to create WordPress hosts using Apache port 80.
