Canonical URL

Permalink
I have just loaded a site up onto Concrete 5 and while I was building it rather than the site using the domain name robbinscs.co.uk the canonical URL has appeared ashttp://212.48.91.24/robbinscs.co.uk/... with all the internal links no longer working. I have gone in and added the full URL to the add URL section within the properties but each time this is done a / is added to the front of the new address. Any ideas?

It appears your building a new website that will eventually be live athttp://robbinscs.co.uk/ ???

Or ishttp://robbinscs.co.uk/ the current site you are having this trouble on?

First of all I created a hosting package on my server for robbinscs.co.uk and then uploaded Concrete 5 onto it. I then went on to build the site in its entirety before pointing the domain at the server as I did not want the original site to disappear before completion of the new one. It was not until I had completed the site and pointed the domain that I discovered the addresses to all start withhttp://212.48.91.24/robbinscs.co.uk/whatever....

Is there some way of changing the canonical URL to remove the IP address?

Well it looks likehttp://robbinscs.co.uk/ does not load the concrete5 site at all. I think the issue here can't be solved from the concrete5 dashboard, as its not whats being loaded when someone goes to your URL. What are you using for hosting? Your server needs to serve the concrete5 directory when your URL is accessed.

Knowing that my server is compatible with Concrete 5, there are several sites already using it, I guess it might be easier to load everything again from scratch as the site is only a few pages. However, I do have this issue with another site I did in the same manner.
