Hello all, I am just doing some research to test Mautic features quickly. I have spinned an AWS instance, put Bitnami WAMP Stack (with Apache and PHP) on it and installed Mautic. In the general settings I put the public IP as my Site URL (I do not have a registered domain at the moment) [https://www.screencast.com/t/fHedcdNo](https://www.screencast.com/t/fHedcdNo) However, when I create a form or email, all my post actions, tracking pixels have localhost in the URL instead of the public IP [https://www.screencast.com/t/bBvKhSqP](https://www.screencast.com/t/bBvKhSqP) [https://www.screencast.com/t/gjRdYHSl](https://www.screencast.com/t/gjRdYHSl) Can you please help? Many thanks ---

@evrentekin you have to put the correct directory path on log directory and cache directory you still have the WAMP path. After doing this saved and clean cache folder (delete) the folder is located under app/cache ---
