    I just updated my site to v2.3.0 - Build: date 20111011 and for some reason the URL to the root directory will not save. It tells me Preferences Updated, but the area returns blank. Has this issue come up before?

    Hi LW4 Comm,

    Take a look in your config.php file as it may be overriding it there. Also make sure your config.php has permissions of 666

    The permissions is set to 666. I don’t see a line in the config.php that calls for url root.

    How do I override it? None of the links on my site work.

    Also when I added config.php override

    $config['site_url'] = "http://www.website/directory/"

    I get a blank page and I lose the control panel.

    Ok. I removed these two lines and now it works.

    $config['base_url']= apache_getenv("site_url");
    $config['site_url']= apache_getenv("site_url");

    Please tell me I didn’t mess up anything else.

    Ah! That would be why you weren’t able to update that field from the CP. If you’re automatically setting those variables using system environmental variables or anything other than simple strings, you won’t be able to update them from the CP.

    Looks like you’re all set now. Is there anything else we can help with?
