Question base_url

I am currently using webtrees with two domains, one is an alias.
in config.ini I put base_url=""
it works fine.

but sometimes the routing is wrong.
how can  i solve this ?

Instead of an alias, you should configure your webserver to redirect one domain onto the other domain

If you leave this blank, webtrees will try to detect the domain using information provided by the webserver.

This is very unreliable. For example, HTTPS is handled by the webserver, so webtrees cannot know whether the request is HTTP or HTTPS. Therefore it cannot generate the correct URLs.

I do not believe it is possible. This is why webtrees uses a configured value for base_url!

i think i can use htaccess to reroute to the other domain alias.

I read you were making it also without base_url when making the next revision of webtrees...?

Hi,

initially I installed webtrees (current version) on http://my-domain. Now I installed SSL, and JS and CCS can't be found as the base_url is http://my-domain. Where can I change it to https://my-domain? I can't find any config.ini file. A config.ini.php in the data folder seems to be ignored.

base_url is a property in ./data/config.ini.php
If it had a "http:" value, it should suffice to change that to "https:"
Check and double-check: this cannot be ignored.
Just paste the full url copied from your browser address bar, trim off anything after (including) the first single slash.

Thank you for your always quick replies!

It's working now. I'm afraid I can't rely on Filezilla any longer. Cyberduck shows me, that Filezilla not only didn't show me an existing config file, it also didn't overwrite the old file.
