proper way to setup laptop with apache22
I'm setting up a laptop with apache, just to play, basically. But apache doesn't like the fact that it can't resolve the lappy's hostname to an IP number and it will not load. The laptop gets its IP # via DHCP so it changes at various locations. I could use the localhost name IP #, which should work. My laptop is named 'laptop' (laptop.mydomain.com) Is there a way to have the system utilize it's assigned IP #? Or do I have to change my apache config to localhost ? thanks. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Hi, You can enter (assuming 'lappy' is the hostname): 127.0.0.1 localhost lappy in /etc/hosts and set the ListenAddress directive in Apache to bind to that IP.

Listen 127.0.0.1:80 Too much SSH config-ing for me lately. :) -- Glen Barber ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
