Hi!

could you please check your server configuration (file config.php), I suppose that you have localhost in your $CFG->wwwroot

Hi Petr,
Our wwwroot is set to point to...
$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/moodle' ;
...which resolves to 'http://intranet/moodle'

Also, not sure if these problems are related, but when the overnight backups fail I get an email with a link to the backup logs....

Please take a look at your backup logs in:
http://localhost/moodle/backup/log.php

Localhost should be 'intranet' here aswell.

Cheers
David

You configuration is incorrect, there must be only one wwwroot URL - you must not use $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] !

The easiest solution is to tweak internal DNS to return intranet IP address of the server for the external URL and use only external URL for both intranet and internet.
