CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

When I try to Administer CiviCRM I run into problems where it takes me to the IP address instead of the domain name.  I believe this is because the install happened while the DNS Servers were not pointing to the IP Address yet.  Now I think I need to modify some settings to get it to only recognize the domain name.

I've tried changing the define( 'CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL' , 'http://XX.XX.XXX.XX/' );
to define( 'CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL' , 'http://www.example.com/administrator/' );

HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

You'll need to change civicrm.settings.php in:
administrator/components/com_civicrm/
AND
components/com_civicrm

You may be able to do it through the interface, in the administer CiviCRM there's a link to change the base url.
You will also need to go to global settings and change the resources setting url.
