What is the reason for this report?

domain not configured properly (adding itself in front of everything

Posted on June 22, 2014

I setup a link tracking solution on one domain and droplet.

It was working fine but for some reason it started adding its own domain in front or any link.

so if i linked www.google.com it would be mydomain.com/www.google.com

This is even happening within phpmyadmin. For example a normal query or table wouldn’t execute properly because phpmyadmin was added before it.

Thanks in advance for you help.
