$url problem
Hi All,
Need some help with what I think is the $url model object. Let me see
if I can describe my problem in the right manner (forgive me if my
terminology is a bit off, I'm still learning all of this stuff).
I currently have Roller 3.1 running on Windows XP and Tomcat 5.5.23. I
am currently running a test run of Roller as a team blogging application
at my work. Currently team members in our American offices (network)
can access the app via a web browser by typing in
http://nameofmymachine/roller/ where "nameofmymachine" is the short name
of my machine (not fully qualified). All the links in the application,
which seem make use the $url model object, direct the user to some
subdirectory of this.
The problem I'm running into is that we have a team member that works
out of our China office and cannot access the site this way. He has to
enter the fully qualified name of my machine in order to access it
because he is on a different company network, for example,
http://fullyqualifiednameofmymachine/roller/ .
This would be fine, but if he clicks on any links in the app, it just
reverts back to linking to a subdirectory of the short name of my
machine (not fully qualified), therefore not finding the page.
So basically, since he is on a different network, the DNS looking up
"nameofmymachine" does not recognize it unless it is the fullyqualified
name of my machine.
We can work around this by having him assign the IP address of my
machine to "nameofmymachine" in his Windows host file, but I'd rather
not do this.
So I'm wondering if it is the $url model that is always returning the
short name of my machine whenever a link is selected? What I would like
to happen is whenever anyone selects a link in the app, it links to
http://fullyqualifiednameofmymachine/roller/something .
Is this possible? Do I need to be building from source and changing the
$url model object code?
Thanks.
-Jeff

You beat me to it. I was going to suggest that.

Okay, I think I've resolved this and was overthinking it.
In the Roller Configuration page I just set the Absolute URL to site to
http://fullyqualifiednameofmachine/roller and that seems to resolve this
issue.
