Eric Covener <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |WONTFIX --- Comment #1 from Eric Covener <[email protected]> --- Unfortunately from a httpd perspective, this is working as designed, for the reason you suggested at the end of your report. If you omit the servername, it's calculated from the system hostname (double-reverse DNS lookup of the system hostname). The docs do not get this exactly right. The alternatives as a default behavior all seem too problematic to be viable options: * httpd could look for a matching servername in a way that the default name-based vhost is not checked first (surprising change for basic function, potentially more costly at runtime) * httpd could use a dummy value rather than the system hostname as a default I think it is necessary for the user to explicitly provide an alternative ServerName in this case. I will take a todo to mention it in ServerName and name-based vhosting docs. Even with the debian "default" virtualhost structured this way, it does not seem to be a frequent problem, so I think it will have to remain the affected users providing an alt ServerName. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
