And what if there was no request since the start but the watch list must fire?
To me relying on a first request is really dangerous, also there are cases where
ProxyPreserveHost is not accessible (I had the case of having just mod_rewrite and no
mod_proxy).
A hard solution is to install a URL factory that is absolute (i've published one here,
it has too many things but has worked for me), another is to change de tomcat config if
available.

Objet: Re: [xwiki-users] Watchlist email links use localhost instead of server hostname
If I remember correctly, XWiki uses the first incoming request to store the information by
which hostname it is called, and uses this information in the background thread that sends
the watchlist mails.
a) If you are sure that everyone accesses your wiki through the actual host name, you
should be able to fix the problem by restarting the wiki
b) If that does not help: check if you have a proxy in front of XWiki; maybe that proxy
does not pass through the "host" header from the browser
(e.g apache httpd needs a "ProxyPreserveHost On" in its configuration to do
so.)
c) Finally if you want to enfore the usage of a host name, and you can add something like
wget --retry-connrefused --tries=100 --header 'Host: jabba.jabba.hey'
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/
to your start script to make sure XWiki uses a certain domain for the watchlist mails
HTH,

The watchlist mail notifications we are receiving from
our xwiki server have hyperlinks to the corresponding pages, but the link starts with
"http://localhost/" as opposed to the actual server hostname.
How may we fix this?
Thank you
Mario
