Hello all, I have a problem with MediaWiki
running on Apache 2.0 on
FreeBSD 5.2.1. Whenever I goto my server's page //server/mediawiki it
always forwards me to the server's FQDN
(server.pharag.biz/mediawiki/index.php) and will refuse to work
otherwise. This only happens with MediaWiki and I can't seem to figure
out why only MediaWiki forces the usage of the server's local FQDN. Any
ideas? I can provide further information if need be. Thank you!
The HTTP standard requires that redirects use a full URL (including
hostname). The hostname reported by your web server is used to construct
full URLs.
If your web server is misconfigured and reporting the wrong name, you
should probably fix it.
In a pinch, you can set $wgServer explicitly in LocalSettings.php
(normally it's autodetected in DefaultSettings.php).

Thanks for the help Brian. I'm curious though...why does only MediaWiki
do this, and not HL Stats or Psychostats, or phpMyAdmin (which I have
all running on the same box)? And if you're accessing it externally, how
do I fix this problem? I don't own the domain that I'm using for my
internal network and I just want to use it with a DDNS domain. Every
time you try to goto this domain however, it tries to redirect using the
server's FQDN. If I change that $wgServer var in LocalSettings.php to my
DDNS domain, won't this mess up trying to access the webserver
internally? Thank you!
