Address Bar shows IP address instead of URL

[SJamG]

Hi There,

I am having a problem with my Ubuntu/Apache2 config.

It loads the page, but displays the IP address instead of URL. I haev edited my virtual hosts file, but it has had no effect.

Anyone offer any suggestions?

Thanks for the help

Stuart.


Here is my Virtual Hosts file :

root@www:/# cd etc
root@www:/etc# cd apache2
root@www:/etc/apache2# cd sites-available
root@www:/etc/apache2/sites-available# ls
default mailman.conf
root@www:/etc/apache2/sites-available# vi default
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerName www.accommodate-edinburgh.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
# This directive allows us to have apache2's default start page
# in /apache2-default/, but still have / go to the right place
#RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

# alert, emerg.

To see the URL instead of IP address You don't have to change Your server's configuration.
It looks like You've typed Your IP while installing Joomla.
You should type the url of the site.
You can correct this error by replacing the ip by url in configuration.php and some parts of the database.You have to look for Yourself because records in which You can find the ip depend on the components You installed.
