install works on localhost:8888 but navigation does not

[jolarti]

I can't seem to find a proper solution for this.
Installing CMSMS 2 on my localhost (MAMP on a Mac) works perfectly, with all tests and connections to the database passing, but after installation, none of the links or navigation work - because all url's delete the "8888" that I have after my localhost.
I don't want to take off the 8888 in my MAMP settings because I have multiple CMS's installed (and they all work fine on this host).

Any ideas?

I don't want to take off the 8888 in my MAMP settings because I have multiple CMS's installed (and they all work fine on this host).

I don't see the point... I have tons of installations of CMSMS on my localhost and they all work fine without having to use non standard ports for that. I keep moving installations around and from and to remote servers without issues either (safe the occasional stubborn hoster that persists in having substandard server environments). What I use is either virtual hosts in WAMP, which I assume it's the same in MAMP, aliases, sub-folders which are the easiest to use, or even mocking domains that I have setup for testing purposes. All work fine and only setting up domains on a local server needed some googling around before I could set them up, but after that it was pretty easy and straightforward.

(...) none of the links or navigation work - because all url's delete the "8888" that I have after my localhost (...)

At this point I can't say if it is a bug or as designed, I don't have time to fiddle with that right now but, as you may have noticed, it's a pretty rare requirement and probably not the best way to achieve what you need. It would be the last way of setting up multiple installations of any script I would think of using...

I don't understand what you don't "see the point" of.

Do you mean: you don't see the point of keeping 8888 in MAMP?
Or do you mean you don't know what point is causing an error..?

Don't know for sure but maybe it helps to add this line to your config.php

Code: Select all

$config['root_url'] = 'http://localhost:8888';

I could reproduce this issue.

It has been fixed already in version 2.2 which currently is in public beta.

For CMSMS 2.1.x the fix/work-around is setting the $config['root_url'] like Jos already suggested.

Note that you can use a protocol relative url if you want to do so
e.g.:

Code: Select all

$config['root_url'] = '//localhost:8888'

If you're using multiple host/domain names then have a look at host_whitelist setting and note that you should include the port number there but NOT the protocol!

e.g.:

Code: Select all

$config['host_whitelist'] = 'localhost:8888,domain2:8888';
