Hello,

I have installed and configured SMF at a hosting provider (on an AlmaLinux server). I have set it up as a sub-domain and modified my main domain dns settings to point to it.

My question: after reaching the SMF site, the browser address bar starts showing the numeric IP address and not the subdomain name. 

How can I set it up so that it the browser address bar keeps showing the domain name?

You can easily view and modify all the url settings in one page with repair_settings.php
What is repair_settings.php?

Thank you for the link.  I have donwloaded it to as instructed in the page. 

How do I run it?  I have used putty to get into the server.

Oops!  I think I got the answer to my last question...

Thank you!  Worked like a charm...

Glad to see that it worked. I am marking this as solved.

Don't forget to delete repair_settings.php now that you're done with it.
DO NOT pm me for support!

Indeed!  There was an option in the repair page to delete itself  :)  That was convenient.
