Redirection problem

[pcornier]

Node.js version: 8.9.3
npm version: 5.5.1
Strapi version: 3.0.0-alpha.7.2
Operating system: Ubuntu 16.04

It seems not possible to create the first user after moving Strapi to production.

I installed Nginx and redirected port 80/443 to localhost:1337 but when I try to access:
https://mydomain.org/admin

I'm redirected to:
https://mydomain.org/http://localhost:1337/admin/plugins/users-permissions/auth/register

Did you set the host domain in your build configuration (see the documentation)? You will need to rebuild the administration panel then.

I was able to access the administration today:

• I re-installed everything
• I changed my config (just changed host in server.js)
• then I ran npm install in root directory and in admin directory.

I'm not quite sure I understand why it started to work - the only thing I changed is the configuration file that was edited before running npm install - so I think this should be tested again by someone else and clearly written somewhere.

The administration needs to know the host (IP or domain) to work well. I've added a new section in the documentation to explain How to deploy.

This relates to #423. Even with the correct settings and rebuild, the admin panel remains inaccessible.

It should be fixed in the next release with these changes #431
