CMS Made Simple Forums

First I am running CMS 1.0.8 "Kona" and it is on a Windows 2003 server using XAMPP as the engine.

When I first starting setting my site up, I only had the IP address that we were going to use as our site, so I started building pages right and left using that IP as the site name.  After I got the site ready to go "live", I had our state hosting agency add the actual domain name to make it resolve to our address.  The first page does fine but all subsequent pages still resolve to the IP address.  What I need to know is how do I go back in and get the site rename using the "real URL" and not the IP address?  Since I don't have the Install directory anymore (deleted per instructions), I don't see how to get back in to correct this name problem.

So I have to figure out the correct way to get CMS to go through and make all the corrections to the xml links (I am guessing) so that they resolve to the actual DNS name and NOT the IP address.  I tried just opening the config.php page in notepad, and did a find and replace where I replaced ALL entries in it having just the IP address with the actual URL (domain name) and I thought everything was good, but then the FCKEditorX started giving me XML errors when I tried to add images to pages, so that messed that up.  I got fearful of other stuff being messed up so I put the old config.php file back.  I just need to know how to get this thing to recognize all the pages now as the REAL domain name.

I am fearful of hosing the install or something if I don't do this correctly as I experienced by just trying a "hack" of sorts on the config.php file.

Thanks for any help that can be provided.

You can try to run install wizard once again (without writing database and default content - step4).

Wizard will found correct settings - you have only to clear config.php and wizard will start.

Yep... that did the trick on getting the embedded weather modules to resolve correctly across all pages of the site now.    Thanks cyberman.  Going back through the install wizard was what I needed to get the names to roll over correctly.  I still have one issue but cannot determine if it is related to this or not.  I may need to post this in a new thread but before I tried ot manually modify the config.php (pre running of the install wizard to correct the name resolution problem), I was able to insert pictures into pages in the FCKEditor with no problem, but now I keep getting an XML error "The server did not send back a proper XML response".    Now this isn't happeing in the main (top level website) but only the ones that I have created in unique folders below the main site.  Again, this was all working before, and it was working when I put old config file back that had the IP addresses in it for the name resolution but for some reason, when I try to browse server for an image, I am getting a big page of code with the above error response.  I tried this on all of the sites below the main site (ie mainsite\childsite with the same result.  I even uninstalled and reinstalled FCKEditor but that didn't seem to help.

I may have to just recontruct all those child sites?  As I mentioned, I probably need to post this as a new thread.  I will investigate more then do that if I can't resolve this.
