how to change the domain associated with self hosted [solved]
epipen
New
When logging in to forums.domain.com - everything is fine until we try to login
1: login > enter credentials > page not found...
2: why? because forum.domain.com/blahblahblah (internet accessible dns entry) changes to forum/blahblahblah (internal dns entry) - see the following picture 
" alt="" />
or try this link if the above link doesn't work.

I have grep searched everything and cannot seem to find the proper string to search. I have dumped the database and searched that as well. I need some assistance here so our forums can go live.

Open your conf/config.php file, do you see below? Have you modified?
$Configuration['Garden']['Domain'] = ''; $Configuration['Garden']['WebRoot'] = FALSE; // You can set this value if you are using htaccess to direct into the application, but the correct webroot isn't being recognized.I have opened this but not modified it.
this is what the "garden" section of the config file looks like
the part in bold is the closest to what you have described. I see njo "web root" option.
What would i need to do with this.
what i have tried is setting
$Configuration['Garden']['Cookie']['Domain'] = 'domain.com';
$Configuration['Garden']['Cookie']['webroot'] = true;
below is cut (and modified to protect the innocent) from the config file.
// Garden
$Configuration['Garden']['Cookie']['Domain'] = '';

@epipen, sorry I have removed your sensitive info. You can add the item I have mentioned to your config
Can you try:
$Configuration['Garden']['Domain'] = 'yoursite.com';instead of displaying forum.domain.com - it is still displaying forum/
Here are some more screen shots

Please note that i can MANUALLY correct the domain once i have logged in with my credentials, however, the application occasionally switches the link from a public domain address to a private domain address. This is not an issue when accessing from the intranet, but for our users accessing from the internet, they get a 404 error and do not know to manually fix the link (nor should they have to in a perfect world).
Where are you hosting your site?
SOLVED:
The issue was not the vanilla forums. Our firewall forwarder has an option to pass through the originating url. If unchecked, the url get's translated locally.
Glad it was resolved, thanks for letting us know
