1). Navigate to your installations config_editor.php script
- http://my.ip.add.ress/config_editor.php
- Login using the Master Password
- Locate base_url and change it to your URL in this format: http://mysite.com
- Locate domain and change it to your domain in this format: mysite.com
2). The same options can be edited from within your installations _config.php file
- Locate $SITE_INFO['domain'] and $SITE_INFO['base_url'], and change these items with the same formats used above.

Do you know how to make it connect to my composr? or maybe just to remove the port :81?
Thank you

This would be a matter of configuring the web server, not configuring Composr.
Assuming you are using Apache, the port numbers, and domain settings, would be configured within the Apache settings.
If you are using some kind of hosting control panel like cPanel then it can do it for you, but I doubt you are if you're operating on port 81.
So for anyone to help you you probably would need to post your whole Apache configuration, including any vhost configuration files.

As a company & project maintainer, time is very limited to me, so usually when I write a reply I try and make it generic advice to all readers. I'm also naturally a joined-up thinker, so I always express my thoughts in combined business and technical terms. I recognise not everyone likes that, don't let my Vulcan-thinking stop you enjoying Composr on fun personal projects.
- If my response can inspire a community tutorial, that's a great way of giving back to the project as a user.
