Zulip: External ip cannot be a 192.168.x.x

[huneau]

Hi there,

My zulip is running on a local LAN with an IP of 192.168.6.50. When I try to start my server, I've got that

zulip_1      | Traceback (most recent call last):

Instead, I write http:// as a workaround, but it's making crappy stuff after.

You need to put quotes around the string, e.g. 'EXTERNAL_HOST = '192.168.6.50''.
