I've previously configured a FQDN through <http://www.dyndns.com/> for <http://leafnode.sourceforge.net/> and plan to do so again. I run apache for personal, home use for apps such as <http://code.google.com/p/feed-on- feeds/> and plan on doing some ruby. I don't want to have an actual website, this is just for my use. However, when I configure my box with a FQDN this interferes with Apache, which assumes that I want to actually have a web page. The apparent work around is to use virtual hosts? Feed-on-Feeds, for example, is just looking for localhost and that's fine. but leafnode needs that FQDN. For what it's worth, here's some data about my setup: [thufir@localhost ~]$ [thufir@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora Core release 6 (Zod) [thufir@localhost ~]$ [thufir@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/hosts # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. #127.0.0.1 arrakis.homelinux.org localhost #127.0.0.1 benetleilax.homedns.org localhost #::1 localhost.localdomain localhost 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost [thufir@localhost ~]$ [thufir@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network NETWORKING=yes NETWORKING_IPV6=no HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain #HOSTNAME=benetleilax.homedns.org [thufir@localhost ~]$ [thufir@localhost ~]$ date Mon Jun 18 03:07:38 BST 2007 [thufir@localhost ~]$ [thufir@localhost ~]$ I'll probably be install fedora core 7 soon. thanks, Thufir --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
