 I found a few issues which seemed similar (33821, 17718, etc) but the
 patches given there do not fix my problem.

 '''The problem''' :
 I am able to open wp-admin and everything works well.
 When I open my home page, I get a redirect loop.
 On further investigation, it seems `redirect_canonical()` in `wp-
 includes/canonical.php` is the culprit. It finds the :
  - `$redirect_url` as 'http://localhost:80/ajk/' and
  - `$requested_url` as 'http://localhost/ajk/'
 And the extra `:80` causes the condition `$redirect_url == $requested_url`
 to be false - causing the infinite redirect.

 '''Detailed steps to reproduce error''' :
 So, I have set up wordpress by doing the following:

 1. Made a empty git repo in the folder /var/www/html/ajk (Using Ubuntu
 14.04 + Apache)
 2. Added submodule at /var/www/html/ajk/wordpress using git and checked
 out 4.3.1 branch
 3. Copied `/var/www/html/ajk/wordpress/index.php` to
 `/var/www/html/ajk/index.php`
 In this file, I changed `require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/wordpress/wp-
 blog-header.php' );` to `require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/wp-blog-
 header.php' );`

 4. Now, I copied `/var/www/html/ajk/wordpress/wp-content` to
 `/var/www/html/ajk/wp-content`

 5. Create `/var/www/html/ajk/wp-config.php` with :

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 $server_name = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
 $server_port = $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'];
 $doc_root = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
 $subdir = '/ajk';
 $http = 'http://';

 define('WP_SITEURL', $http . $server_name . ':' . $server_port . $subdir
     . '/wordpress');
 define('WP_HOME', $http . $server_name . ':' . $server_port . $subdir);
 define('WP_CONTENT_DIR', $doc_root . $subdir . '/wp-content');
 define('WP_CONTENT_URL', $http . $server_name . ':' . $server_port .
 $subdir
     . '/wp-content');

 define('DB_NAME', 'db_wp');
 define('DB_USER', 'root');
 define('DB_PASSWORD', '1');
 define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
 define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
 define('DB_COLLATE', '');

 define('WP_DEBUG', true);
