Emails for tasks use link with 127.0.0.1

[sabrown]

Emails for tasks insist on using 127.0.0.1 instead of my actual server name. This is the same for Tasks and Project Tasks.

Emails for meeting acceptance use the correct server name.

I have host_name and site_url set correctly to my url in config.php.

Sugar Version: 4.5.1d
Sugar Edition: Open Source
Category: Activities, Projects
Operating System: FreeBSD
Web Server: Apache 2

The code of interest seems to be in include\SugarBean.php - around Line 1577:

$httpHost = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
if($colon = strpos($httpHost, ':')) 
{
    $httpHost  = substr($httpHost, 0, $colon);
}
$parsedSiteUrl  = parse_url($sugar_config['site_url']);
$host = ($parsedSiteUrl['host'] != $httpHost) ? $httpHost : $parsedSiteUrl['host'];

This looks like to me that if the site_url is not equal to the $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], then the $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] will override - which is backwards for me...and I would think for most sites.

Actually, that is as-designed.

Since you're on Apache, it's a fairly easy fix.

Assuming you are running virtual hosts, the directive(s) you'd want to
apply are:

<virtualhost *>
...
ServerName mysugarinstance.com 
ServerAlias www.mysugarinstance.com
...
</virtualhost>

The code you cite was written to allow access through NAT and other address-transforming firewalls/routers.

I thought this would take care of it:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName crm.xxxxxxxxxx.com
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://127.0.0.1:80/sugarcrm/$1 [L,P]
</VirtualHost>

Maybe I need the server alias as well? Is the rewrite rule confusing things?
