This is in production mode, on a variation of `phpbb3.template.yml`. In the past I’ve always used a development environment, so perhaps I have some fundamental misunderstanding of how it works in Development.

Sorry about that. I suspect that it was more traumatic for Josh and Team than I know.

Yes, hence:

My notion was that if I set that then the above-mentioned URLs would have to correct hostname so they wouldn’t need to be remapped.

**But** `script/discourse remap` seems to be the solution that I’m searching for.

Speaking of trauma, I’ve got 2 imports (one for a hosted customer) that each took over a week to run that went off the rails, so I really want to make sure that I don’t goof it up again.
