Question

Twiki is running fine with FireFox browser. With IE 6 or 7, I cannot see the images and links on the page does not work. I run apache on port 8080. Following is the source code from the main web page. Base href="http://xxx.xx.xx:8080:8080/twiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome"/base It is showing double port number in links and images and they are not working. That happen only in IE and never happened with FireFox.

It is URL error

I have the same issue. The base meta tag is being created as http://domain.tld:port:port/twiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome

Originally during setup DefaultUrlHost was automatically populated with the double :port in the url which i corrected.

My guess is whatever is creating the base tag (and activation links in emails) is using the same method used to guess the DefaultUrlHost initally.

FF seems to be able to correct the invalid URL.

IE displays content with no images, scripting, css or working links.

I created a bug ( Bugs:Item3825 ) concerning my experience with this. Unfortunately, I'm stymied.

I have TWiki 4.1.2 running on SGI Irix in two configurations. One is an Apache 1.x config with Perl running with CGI. The other is Apache 2.x using mod perl. The 1.x runs at port 80. The 2.x is at port 8080.

The mod perl one generates urls with :8080:8080 and as mentioned, Firefox doesn't seem to care but IE does.

I've tried to run the perl debugger, but I haven't been able to get it to simulate the environment mod_perl runs in ... I can make it error out on me by setting MOD_PERL=2.

Wilco and Jacob, I"m curious what configs you're dealing with.
