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.
I got around this on FreeBSD 5.3 by putting the short name in /etc/hosts .
