Reset Password Email Issue

[snapgt25]

I had installed LogicalDoc and changed the server.url setting to be something other than localhost. I have verified that this is in fact correctly reflected in the context.properties file. Yet, when the reset password email is sent out, the link always starts with http://localhost:8080... Does anybody have any suggestions on what might be the issue?

Thanks!

Is that new URL correctly stored in the conf/context.properties file? Have you restarted LogicalDOC?

Yes, the new URL is stored correctly in the conf/context.properties file. I have restarted LogicalDOC (restarted the LogicalDoc service in the services manager). I'm really stumped by this one. Thanks for the response - any other suggestions?

Got it. The URL in the message reflects the URL you used to reached LogicalDOC from the client. Please try to reset the password from a different machine.

car031 - Thanks for the response, but you lost me at "reset the password from a different machine." Could you please elaborate?

Thanks!

Well, it is quite clear. Open a browser in a PC then point it to your LogicalDOC that is hosted in your server, it should be something like http://you_server_ip:8080
Then click the forgot link in the login page, you should recevie a reset link that starts with http://you_server_ip

Now I understand what you mean. Yes, I have been doing that. Also, I now see where the URL comes from - basically it uses the reference URL that was used to reach the page rather than the URL stated in the context.properties file. This is disappointing because I have setup my system so that my users do not need to enter the port. I did this through a combination of URL rewrite in IIS and some modifications in my host file. Looks like I'll be giving up on this one for now. Thanks for the help!

Hi, if the port is an issue for you, you caould install LogicalDOC on port 80
