Replace all files and directories in your *system/* directory.

+Step 2: Make sure your 'base_url' config value is not empty
+===========================================================
+
+When ``$config['base_url']`` is not set, CodeIgniter tries to automatically
+detect what your website's base URL is. This is done purely for convenience
+when you are starting development of a new application.
+
+Auto-detection is never reliable and also has security implications, which
+is why you should **always** have it manually configured!
+
+One of the changes in CodeIgniter 3.0.3 is how this auto-detection works,
+and more specifically it now falls back to the server's IP address instead
+of the hostname requested by the client. Therefore, if you've ever relied
+on auto-detection, it will change how your website works now.
+
+In case you need to allow e.g. multiple domains, or both http:// and
+https:// prefixes to be dynamically used depending on the request,
+remember that *application/config/config.php* is still a PHP script, in
+which you can create this logic with a few lines of code. For example::
+
+ $allowed_domains = array('domain1.tld', 'domain2.tld');
+ $default_domain = 'domain1.tld';
+
+ if (in_array($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], $allowed_domains, TRUE))
+ {
+ $domain = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
+ }
+ else
+ {
+ $domain = $default_domain;
+ }
+
+ if ( ! empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']))
+ {
+ $config['base_url'] = 'https://'.$domain;
+ }
+ else
+ {
+ $config['base_url'] = 'http://'.$domain;
+ }
