[users@httpd] How can I force a server name header?
I'm trying to test a new server located at internal IP 192.168.1.5. The
production server lives at IP 192.168.1.7 on the same network.
How can I force the browser to connect to the correct server? If I try
"http://192.168.1.5" the redirect on the first (alphabetically) virtual
server redirects to the production server.
What I need to be able to do is combine the virtual server id with the
network address so I connect to the same name but on the machine I'm
testing. I think this is the "ServerName" header but I don't know where
I can enter this on Firefox.
Anybody have any experience with this problem?
Thanks in advance.
John

Thanks Frank. My workstation just crashed; second time since 14 July,
so I won't
be able to get back to this very fast. I'll try it out whenever I can
get back to work
but I do appreciate the feedback.

http://ip/ will always land on the default (first) vhost unless you have
another vhost with ServerName IP set. Just set up an arbitrary hostname to
resolve to 192.168.1.7, then use http://dummyhostname/. Make sure to define
a vhost with that ServerName set as well.
I would encourage you to look at the name-based vhosts docs, too.

Thanks Marc. That might be difficult to do due to some technical
limitations. I will try it out as soon as I get a working
workstation.
