Hi Victor

I can see why this is happening, URLs require a domain, and some features—such as certain cookies—won't work without it.

Localhost is a special case.

You have a server setup to work locally without a domain but which is not localhost.

The simplest solution would be to modify your server settings to add any-old domain, e.g. alpha1.host as the base URL.

I could enquire about allowing URLs without domains but as they are not really valid URLs I don't know that that would be accepted.

Are you able to add a domain to your local URL?
