How to make Apache show different hostname?

mac_phil · 05-10-2004, 08:55 PM

My hostname is assigned by my ISP's DHCP server. I also own a domain that points at my IP.

Apache works.

When I go to the URL domain.foo (my domain), everything is fine. When I go to domain.foo/public, Apache changes the URL to my-dhcp-hostname/public.

How can I make Apache always identify itself (and the URL) as domain.foo? I don't think I can change my actual hostname, because my ISP's DHCP server assigns my hostname.

Thanks!

One alternative is to use the <base href=""> element in your HTML files...

Interesting.

Actually I'm just listing a directory at that URL, so there really isn't an HTML file.

So would I add that line to my Apache config, or is there a different answer?

Thanks for the tip, I'll keep it in mind when I look at the docs.
