Bruce -- you're up early !!
Still up, actually. It's just about midnight here now...
I know I sound like an idiot but the answer is "I don't know" It's something to
do
with rewriting of incoming requests to a dyanmic set of urls
What I'm going to do is to try and install the software and go from
there
It's already installed, there's nothing you need to do except set up
the proper rules in the httpd.conf (or included virtual site sections)
and restart Apache.
if you look in those files now, for example, in the virtual site
include files (/etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/site1 on a RaQ 550), you'll see
this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^1.2.3.4(:80)?$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.example.com(:80)?$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R]
RewriteOptions inherit
Meaning that if a URL comes in that doesn't start wih an IP address or
the full domain name (case insensitive), rewrite it to be prepended
with the FQDN (last rule, and redirect).
