• Fix Priority: 3

Steps to reproduce:

1. Click My Sites > (Any site name)

Expected results:
It should redirect correctly to localhost

Actual results:
The redirect will be to http://:8080/web/guest/home and no pages display.

Note:
This also affects My Dashboard and My Profile. The workaround is to set the Virtual Host in Portal Instances or in Portal Settings to something else, and then setting it back to localhost. The redirect will work correctly after that.
