Wrong folder reference in hosted Dolibarr installation when URLs are automatically generated

Hello all,
I have a hosted Dolibarr installation and things are generally going very well. One issue which I have had from the start though is that Dolibarr keeps generating wrong folder references on URLs which it generates. For example, to generate a link to make a payment it will give the reference https://example.com/f/f/htdocs/public/payment/newpayment.php?source=invoice&ref=FA2209-0101 when it should just give https://example.com/f/htdocs/public/payment/newpayment.php?source=invoice&ref=FA2209-0101 (one /f has been removed from the second version).
The problem is the same when links are sent out to approve expenses, and the like. Every time I need to manually remove a /f from the URL reference in order to have the proper URL given to the recipient.
Is there a setting I can modify in order to correct this wrong reference? Maybe there is something in the config.php file I need to change?
Thanks for any input.

Hello,

Have a look on your conf/conf.php and the variable : $dolibarr_main_url_root=‘’;

github.com

Dolibarr/dolibarr/blob/develop/htdocs/conf/conf.php.example#L29


      
          // * to show full url bookmarks for some services (ie: agenda rss export url, ...)
          // * or when using Apache dir aliases (autodetect fails)
          // * or when using nginx (autodetect fails)
          //
          // Examples:
          // $dolibarr_main_url_root='http://localhost';
          // $dolibarr_main_url_root='http://mydolibarrvirtualhost';
          // $dolibarr_main_url_root='http://myserver/dolibarr/htdocs';
          // $dolibarr_main_url_root='http://myserver/dolibarralias';
          //
          $dolibarr_main_url_root='';
          
          

          
// dolibarr_main_document_root
          // ===========================
          // This parameter contains absolute file system path of Dolibarr htdocs directory
          //
          // Examples:
          // $dolibarr_main_document_root='/var/www/dolibarr/htdocs';
          // $dolibarr_main_document_root='C:/My web sites/dolibarr/htdocs';
          //

Thanks for the tip.
It was set as https://example.com/f as that is the directory I’m using, but by removing /f it doesn’t seem to have affected the installation and the relative reference is now correct when URLs are generated.
