Subject: RE: [users@httpd] Custom hostname and Apache 2.2.6

Here's a shot in the dark.
=20
The file /etc/hosts most probably has a line containing =
host-xx-xxx-xx-xxx, associating the host name with an IP address, =
looking somewhat like this:

10.11.12.14 host-xx-xxx-xx-xxx

Edit that line and add laptop:

10.11.12.14 host-xx-xxx-xx-xxx laptop


I think that should do the trick. In order to permanently change the =
hostname, I believe you would need to modify the file /etc/hostname =
and/or /etc/nodename. You would need root privileges for that.

Objet : [users@httpd] Custom hostname and Apache 2.2.6


Hello!=20

I'm a bit new to this, but here goes. My computer is a MacBook Pro with =
Mac OS X 10.4.11, I am not using the bundled Apach 1.3 server, it has =
not been activated prior to this. I installed Apache 2.2.6 (as well as =
PHP and MySQL...) through MacPorts (DarwinPorts) and it has been working =
flawlessly. It is when I attempt the following I can't make it work.

I have a fancy prompt in Terminal, which displays "username@hostname>", =
however, I would like the hostname to be the computer name, i.e. I want =
it to look like "hans@laptop>", because the current hostname is =
"host-xx-xxx-xx-xxx" which can clutter up the screen a bit too much for =
me. Now this I solved by typing...

> sudo hostname laptop

...but after that, I can't seem to start Apache. If I change it back to =
"host-xx-xxx-xx-xxx", all is well. But I want the short name, so I try =
again. The error message I get is as follows:

httpd: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for laptop=20
httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain =
name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName

This is supposedly merely a warning according to =
http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/CouldNotDetermineServerName but if I open =
my browser and go to 127.0.0.1 it can't find the server. Nor can I see =
it listed if I do a

> ps aux | grep httpd


So it would seem it never started at all. I then tried setting my =
hostname in httpd.conf to the following and restarting Apache 2, without =
success:

laptop

127.0.0.1

host-xx-xxx-xx-xxx (my old hostname)

127.0.0.1:80

host-xx-xxx-xx-xxx:80
host-xx-xxx-xx-xxx.serva.net (ISP)

None of them worked, I tried changing the listen directive as well to my =
IP, but that wouldn't help me either. Is it possible to use a custom =
hostname and have Apache run simultaneously?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Hans
