You could just use relative links, or use a full path link, without the
http://www.mydomain.com part.

Or, you could change application.php to use data from $_SERVER to figure
out what URL you should be using.

<?php var_dump($_SERVER);?>

and pick through that data.

Somewhere in there you will find what you need to set up $CFG->wwwrot and
$CFG->dirroot so that they always work, no matter what server you are on.
