[users@httpd] Server_Name not being set by httpd.conf
I'm new to Apache, and I'm trying to set up a simple web server. It so
happens that my domain isn't set up yet, so my server is at 66.23.224.5 for
the time being. I've only minimally modified httpd.conf to get things set
up, and in particular I have the line
ServerName 66.23.224.5:80
which as far as I can tell should cause the SERVER_NAME environment variable
to be set. Unfortunately, the environment script says otherwise:
COMSPEC="C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe"
DOCUMENT_ROOT="C:/www"
GATEWAY_INTERFACE="CGI/1.1"
HTTP_ACCEPT="text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5"
HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET="ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7"
HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING="gzip,deflate"
HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE="en-us,en;q=0.5"
HTTP_CACHE_CONTROL="max-age=0"
HTTP_CONNECTION="keep-alive"
HTTP_HOST="localhost"
HTTP_KEEP_ALIVE="300"
HTTP_USER_AGENT="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12"
PATH="C:\Perl\site\bin;C:\Perl\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program

PATHEXT=".COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH"
QUERY_STRING=""
REMOTE_ADDR="127.0.0.1"
REMOTE_PORT="4093"
REQUEST_METHOD="GET"
REQUEST_URI="/cgi-bin/printenv.pl"
SCRIPT_FILENAME="C:/Program Files/Apache Software
Foundation/Apache2.2/cgi-bin/printenv.pl"
SCRIPT_NAME="/cgi-bin/printenv.pl"
SERVER_ADDR="127.0.0.1"
SERVER_ADMIN="webmaster@theuntaintedsky.org"
SERVER_NAME="localhost"
SERVER_PORT="80"
SERVER_PROTOCOL="HTTP/1.1"
SERVER_SIGNATURE=""
SERVER_SOFTWARE="Apache/2.2.8 (Win32)"
SYSTEMROOT="C:\WINDOWS"
WINDIR="C:\WINDOWS"
You can clearly see that the httpd.conf file is being parsed and applied -
otherwise SERVER_ADMIN would be the default and not what I set it to. So
what am I missing about SERVER_NAME (and HTTP_HOST, for that matter)?

I would take it to the MoveableType forum.
However, my input based on the discussion thus far:
In your configuration files for MovableType:
--> localhost should work in almost all cases or the IP address
127.0.0.1for your installation if it is on the local machine and the
database (which
I am also assuming you are refrencing) are local.
--> Also make sure the logins are valid and the passwords are valid for the
installation of MoveableType you are referencing. Please also make sure the
permissions for the "CGI applications" references are correct (most likely
777) so that your server can execute them properly and the directories have
read/write/execute permissions if need be.
Otherwise, it may be an issue with MT...
Sincerely,
Craig Huffstetler

Ok, thanks for clarifying that. Another question: I have a set of CGI
applications (MovableType to be specific) and even after fixing SERVER_NAME,
these CGI's seem to be confused about whether the self-referential links
they generate should point to localhost (no) or to my domain (yes). Are
there any other Apache settings I should verify before taking this to a
MovableType forum?

That's reflecting the value passed in via the browser, not derived
from your apache/system config.

That fixes SERVER_NAME - but it doesn't change HTTP_HOST. Should I care
that HTTP_HOST still is set to localhost?
