absolute url for feeds

[Vivek Gupta-3]

Hi,

Roller is runing on Tomcat 6.0 with MySql as database. Its working fine if I
access the blog post, comments, admin console, RSS feeds etc. from my
machine. But  while trying to access the feed url (that appear in sidebar)
from some other machine on the network, it won't come up. I found that the
url which was generated for the feed is absolute. The expected url is -

http://mymachineip:8080/roller/smp/feed/enteries/atom

the url that was generated is -

 http://localhost:8080/roller/smp/feed/enteries/atom
Why roller is generating the abolute url instead of relative one?

Regards,
Viv

You need to look under system administration -> configuration ->
'absolute url to site (if required)

and set it to mymachineip:8080

Roller (well, the servlet API) is doing its best to figure out your hostname,
and the best it can come up with is localhost. If you sort out DNS,
you shouldn't
need to apply this workaround.

Thx Davies for responding,

I tried the changes suggest by you. The feed url is now generated
with multiple slash -

http://192.168.100.166:8080/roller//smp/feed/entries/atom

the value that I have provided to "Absolute url to site" is

192.168.100.166:8080
