Okay, I reset site_url so now the activation emails have the correct url:

http://192.168.1.229/scoop/activate/zRwSaevU

but when I click on it, I get an error and the url has been converted to:

http://192.168.1.229//scoopuser/fiona/prefs?firstlogin=1

and I get the error:

"The requested URL //scoopuser/fiona/prefs was not found on this server."

When I go to http://192.168.1.229/scoop though, I see that the user fiona is logged in and I see in mysql that she has been added to
the users table, so obviuosly it activated her account but I don't know if  "...192.168.1.229//scoopuser..." is supposed to be
"...192.168.1.229/scoop/scoopuser..." or "...192.168.1.229/scoopuser...".

I turned off  'show_prefs_on_first_login' at Site Controls > General, but still got the same error.

Is there some other setting at Site Controls > General that will take care of this error?  If so, which one, I mean WOW, there are
some options there to figure out.


Thanks for your help,
