Website Domain - Resets to IP

[almulder]

Under Admin Console, Other Installation Settings, Domain Name.
 
I have been trying to set my Domain name, but it keeps resetting back to the external-IP after I save settings.

Thoughts on how to fix?

Is there a special format the domain has to be in.

Example, I'm am using this format: home.servername.com

Ver 2.0.5

Thanks

Hi,

Is your domain just a redirect to your local server??
In that case your local IP number is the right choice ofcourse...

[almulder]

Yes its a redirect, are not all Domain names just that. They Direct you to the correct it even if that IP changes. So what it the purpose of this field then?

[raybob]

The purpose for the field is to create fully-qualified links.

I'm not sure why your input is being reset.  Does it do it immediately or only after a server restart?

it immediately redirect to external-IP too
