Site base url confusion?

Posted:31 Mar 2009 (04:02 UTC)
Hi, I am trying to install bitweaver on a shared host and I am confused exactly what I am supposed to put when asked this question (site base url). I have uploaded all of the files to a folder on my host that is designated as the home directory for my domain, therefore bitweaver is installed in the root folder.

So, should I be inputting "http: //mydomain. com/" or "/mydomain. com/" (I added spaces to bypass no links)
I have had issues all night trying to get this going? Can someone help?

Thanks in advance!(:biggrin:)

I also run bitweaver on a shared host.

On a shared-host, the server root (or base url), as far as bitweaver is concerned, is just a forward-slash '/'.

It's up to the server to route
h t t p://www.yourdomain.com/
to <server root="">/shared/users/http/public/, etc.

That directory path to your files (on the host computer) is configured in the httpd.conf file, to which shared-host users don't have access.

Keep on pluggin'. We'll get there!</server>

Pardon my ignorance, (:wink:)
So.. are you saying I need to just put the full path to my domain? i.e Http: //mydoamin.com?

'Ignorant' just means don't know.

Just use the single forward slash.

AFAIK the only place you'd need the full url is if you want to set up for secure login.
