Re: Server_Name not being set by httpd.conf

["Craig Huffstetler" <craig.huffstetler@xxxxxxxxx>]

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 127.0.0.1 for 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.
