notification vs siteURL settings

Monday 05 July 2004 12:52:18 am

hi all
in my site i setup a forum where anyone that wants can be updated, via notification, any time a new topic is added.
the site run on a server using the 8000 port (the 80 one is already used by another process).
the problem is as follows:
the notification works whit the following setting in site.ini.append:

[SiteSettings]
SiteURL=myhost/index.php/mysite

but the problem is that the link that the user should follow to see the new post isn't correct: there's no site on myhost/index.php/mysite (port 80)

if the setting is:

[SiteSettings]
SiteURL=myhost:8000/index.php/mysite (correct url)

the mail don't start! posts are inserted, notification runs but no email arrive.

any hint?
how should i configure the server in order to have both the things work?

best regards
