Admin url redirecting to localhost/admin

Question

Admin URL frontname is set to "admin" but on hitting the URL http://www.example.com/admin it redirects to localhost/admin

Working on localhost

web/secure/base_url and web/unsecure/base_url is set to http://localhost/sitename

Using Magento 2.1.8

check web/unsecure/base_url and web/secure/base_url path value in data base core_config_data table. — Ronak Rathod, Commented Dec 10, 2019 at 12:31

First change from

http://localhost/sitename

to

http://127.0.0.1/sitename/

second, after doing this remove var/cache folder.
