site refers to itself as ip not hostname

Post by evan@canalytica.ca »

Hey All,

I have installed and configured the forma lms 2.2.1 and it works very well - however I've run into an issue running it under https. some links are generated with the ip address (https://123.123.123.123/appLms....), and not the hostname (https://host.name.com/appLms....) causing tls errors (my certificate is named and not by ip).

is there a way to disable this, or debug it?

It's not a forma issue.
It's probably a misconfiguration of your webserver.
Could you provide detail of what urls are generated with ip instead of hostname?

Most likely this is a canonical issue with the server. If you're running Apache then you'll want to backup yout httpd.conf, check that mod_rewrite is enabled and added a rewrite rule for the ip address your accessing. It'll be .htaccess that 90% of the time is causing the problem.
