Greetings,
I noticed a bit of a bug in the fragments used to build
/etc/http/conf/httpd.conf . This bug is repeated many times in a few
fragments of httpd.conf. I will say I am no expert, so perhaps this is not,
but it seems wrong to me.
The issue is that where the server name is inserted in the template fragment
45ServerName the following line is used:
ServerName www.{ $DomainName }
Shouldn't this be:
ServerName { $WebServerName }
or at least:
ServerName { $SystemName }.{ $DomainName }
or even:
ServerName www.{ $LocalDomainPrefix }.{ $DomainName }
This came up when I installed the (extremely cool) MP3 jukebox. In my case
the m3u file was coming back with a URL that was http://www.jrp2.net/xxxxx .
Unfortunately, www.jrp2.net is another box hosted at an ISP and I removed
that entry from the Host list. I seem to recall there were some system
changes back in the 4.0/4.1 timeframe that allowed for this fairly common
scenario of www.( $DomainName } which was causing problems. It seems this
part was missed. I am not sure which of the above fits the e-smith
architecture the best, but I am pretty sure the way it seems to be done in
4.1.1 is NOT.
I see the problem in
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/45ServerName as well as
possibly in a couple other (related to virtual hosts).
I will say I am a bit confused, as UseCanonicalName is set to off, and I
think that should prevent machine name munging, but I guess not. I changed
every reference to http://www.jrp2.net in my httpd.conf to one that resolves
properly and it is working great.
Anyway, I thought I would pass this along. If I am way off base here,
please slap me down.
Thanks,
JP
