So, for I type in a URL of: http://canonical.name/my_directory/ I expect the apache server to serve up http://canonical.name/my_direcotry/index.html Instead, it tries to redirect me to http://my.real.servername:8080/my_directory/ >How-To-Repeat: Unfortunately, the real machines are behind firewalls here, so I can't give you a real URL to try. However, it should be fairly easy to test out by creating a server with a valid ServerName directive and then set UseCanonicalName On DirectoryIndex index.html Finally, visit the webserver using a name other than what is set as the ServerName and view the info of that page to see what is the actual URL that your browser is now pointing to... >Fix: I'll check out the ModRewrite rules as I believe that UseCanonicalName is a convenient wrapper around the ModWrite package and see what I can do with that. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, you need] [to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line and make sure the] [subject line starts with the report component and number, with ] [or without any 'Re:' prefixes (such as "general/1098:" or ] ["Re: general/1098:").
