Question

I have an internal wiki setup that uses SSL. The wiki is installed and fully functional, but for some reason internal links are generated with a ":443" at the end.

So for example:

https://twiki.org/bin/view/Main/WebHome ==> https://twiki.org:443/bin/view/Main/WebHome

Both links are still valid, but all wiki generated internal page links take the second format. I am assuming that somehow when wiki finds the local URL path to use it finds it with the :443 at the end.

This seems to be confirmed by the fact that testenv reports: HTTP_HOST twiki.org:443

I do explicitly set the host in the TWiki.cfg though to:

$wikiHomeUrl: https://twiki.org/twiki/bin/view $defaultUrlHost: https://twiki.org

Any ideas how to get rid of the :443 from the links?

In case you are wondering, this "problem" was never an issue before because it "just worked". But I recently installed the Gen html addon and it seems to be getting confused because the internal links don't match the configuration. Because of this it doesn't know how the replace the internal links.

Answer

I had the exact same symptom once in an installation long time ago. Set the $doRemovePortNumber flag in TWiki.cfg, it should fix it.
