add http:// or cant access admin panel

[sng]

For some reason we have to add

http:// before the www.yourname.com:2222 to access the control panel...

If we dont add the http:// and just have www.yourname.com:2222 we get this

The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.

is there a way which we can access the control panel without adding the http:// and just www.yourdomain.com:2222

You can't change that. It is the behaviour of your browser, it has nothing to do with the settings of DA/Apache/whatever.

Browsers can do one of two things; they can presume everyone is using http (which means they won't work for ftp, etc.) or they can determine what protocol to use.

Most do the latter. If your url has 2222 at the end they can't tell the protocol so they fail with an error if you don't tell them.

Mozilla is quite configurable and I'd bet you can find out from the Mozilla user community how to make 2222 work as a default to https, but I don't know who to ask or where.
