Thanks, but, it isn't happy until you fully qualify the domain name, for instance, in /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 hostname.local hostname. (Oddly, it doesn't insist on a FQDN if you specify ServerName) In fact, I'm not so much worried about why Apache might want a FQDN (to generate redirects, etc). What I'm worried about is the statement that Apache is going to get the IP address associated with the FQDN (either from lookup in /etc/hosts or through DNS*). What could that possibly be used for? Is that really what Apache does? -- Ned Ruggeri *Not reverse DNS, as I mistakenly wrote! --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
