Description
During my time with Dataverse and being on the IRC channel every day, I noticed a lot of confusion, errors and waste of time created by two things:
dataverse.fqdnanddataverse.siteUrlsettings are confusing when to use which, what are the consequences of their use etc. They get mixed up pretty much.dataverse.siteUrlnot containing a proper URL, but only the FQDN part.
I propose with the strong support of @pdurbin and @donsizemore that
- we should remove
dataverse.fqdnand instead concentrate on one, non-confusing settingdataverse.siteUrl. - That setting should be validated at boot time, so people fail early when they don't use a proper URL for it.
This is a rather small thing to do. It actually will reduce code complexity, make the docs more precise and easier to understand for newbies. I suggest this is a small issue and volunteer to create a PR.
Back in the days the docs had been extended to better explain the usage, see #4887
