host_url setting
Question about the host_url setting... this is used to build the "click here to login" link that's e-mailed to new users when their accounts are set up.
I couldn't find a way to set it in the GUI, but you can edit this value in the configuration table in the DB. But it looks like the application prepends "http://" to whatever URL you define. Is there a way to set this to "https://" instead?
As a workaround if you're using https, begin the URL with a space... that way in the e-mail it will look like "http:// https://server/..etc.", and at least the link will work.
I'm using the 2086 release on XAMPP in Windows XP (still waiting on hardware!).

The host_url is set at install time and there is no GUI to modify it. It would have to modified manually if the URL ever changes.
You raise a good point about prepending http://. We usually set up servers to automatically re-direct from 80 to 443, which is why this usually works for us. But to be flexible we should allow https in the host_url. I will enter a JIRA ticket for this.
Thanks for the report.
