Strange url rewrite issue in new wordpress site

Question

I have just setup a new Wordpress site in an AWS EC2 host with the following DNS host name:

http://ec2-34-230-30-128.compute-1.amazonaws.com/

Everything was working fine so I just went ahead and setup a friendly domain name:

wordpress.devtechperu.com

that points to the DNS host name using a CNAME (I use AWS Route 53).

However, now when I navigate to wordpress.devtechperu.com, Wordpress shows the site with http://ec2-34-230-30-128.compute-1.amazonaws.com/ in the browser URL!!

I have never run into this issue with other webservers so I guess WordPress is rewriting the url somehow?

Any help is appreciated.

WordPress, by default (if a rewrite handler like mod_rewrite in Apache is enabled), redirects to the URL that you have set as Site Address .

After changing the DNS records, you should also update the Site Address and the WordPress Address values in the dashboard by going to Settings → General. Other method is changing those values in the database, they are in the wp_options table as siteurl and home .
