os-irix/207: SERVER_NAME not being resolved
The contract type is `' with a response time of 3 business hours.
A first analysis should be sent before: Thu Feb 27 14:00:01 PST 1997
>Number: 207
>Category: os-irix
>Synopsis: SERVER_NAME not being resolved
>Confidential: no
>Severity: critical
>Priority: medium
>Responsible: apache (Apache HTTP Project)
>State: open
>Class: sw-bug
>Submitter-Id: apache
>Arrival-Date: Thu Feb 27 11:10:01 1997
>Originator: bentlema@cs.umn.edu
>Organization:
apache
>Release: 1.2b7
>Environment:
IRIX 6.2, gcc
>Description:
The SERVER_NAME environment variable isn't being fully expanded to the complete
host.domain name format. I.e. if I connect to http://ftp/cgi-bin/ident.cgi the
SERVER_NAME variable gets set to only "ftp", when it should be resolved to
"ftp.cs.umn.edu"
This problem doesn't occur on our IRIX 5.3 apache server.
>How-To-Repeat:
To demonstrate this problem, DNS needs to be configured locally such that
ftp and ftp.cs resolve to ftp.cs.umn.edu. For example, our client /etc/resolv.conf
looks like this:
domain cs.umn.edu
nameserver 128.101.248.7
nameserver 128.101.248.58
nameserver 128.101.101.101
search cs.umn.edu umn.edu
>Fix:
Explicitly do a DNS resolution, and set SERVER_NAME to it? (Should be quick
as long as /etc/hosts has entries too.%2
