Author Topic: can't write to the database from the back end after IP change (Read 1382 times)

I have installed CiviCRM (Joomla1.5) on a home computer. It has a private IP address, which I just changed (so it could be on my router's DMZ). I can access the backend from the web; but when I attempt to write anything to the database, the browser times out and gives me "can not connect" errors like the following, which reference the old IP address.

"http://192.168.0.119/administrator/index2.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/admin/setting/url&"

or

"http://192.168.0.119/administrator/index2.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/event/add&"

or

"http://192.168.0.119/administrator/index2.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/contact/add&"

Any thoughts?

Gratefully yours,
John

Hi jgregory,

Don't know much about joomla (I am using Drupal), but i suspect that you need to change civicrm base url.
Check 'CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL' in <joomla_dir>/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm.settings.php
