Apache problem .local

[djbeta]

Hi,

I'm having some problems.. I think related to the fact that when some pages come up.. instead of the domain name I've assigned.. they come up as computername.local/webpage.html

could someone tell me how can I configure Apache on OS X (10.3) to use the correct domain that I specify ?

I'm running apache on a mac in my house, with a sometimes-changing IP address, and I have an assigned domain name ( mywebsite.no-ip.org ) pointing to it.

thanks.

I'd love to know how to turn that off myself, but I can explain a workaround:

It's Bonjour trying to be helpful. To fix the problem, just include a trailing forward slash (or the whole URL including index.html/php)

For instance http://duckstorm.mine.nu breaks, but http://duckstorm.mine.nu/ doesn't.

thanks... but I think I found it.. in the httpd.conf file, you can add a servername variable

servername=www.mywebsite.com

i *think* this forces all calls to the web site root to this address

Yep; I came here to post exactly the same thing. Apache likes things cased nicely though, and there's no equals sign:

ServerName www.mysite.com
