Your web server is reporting a different hostname than you're using 
externally. When the wiki uses an HTTP redirect to send you to a 
canonical page URL it must according to the spec use a full URL, so 
it's using the hostname that the server claims to be.

Override it in LocalSettings.php:
$wgServer = "http://www.filozofija.imped.net";
