OK I figured it out for anyone else curious about this issue.. The variable is set in the mainfile.php file which you should have set to read only before the first run. I changed this line
define('XOOPS_URL', 'http://localhost');
define('XOOPS_URL', 'http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'); which is a temporary ip address host name i'm using during trial runs..
