RE: [MLUG] Apache/Firefox problem

["Pottinger, Hardy J." <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Check your main httpd.conf file, and verify that UseCanonicalName is set
to Off:

# UseCanonicalName: Determines how Apache constructs self-referencing
# URLs and the SERVER_NAME and SERVER_PORT variables.
# When set "Off", Apache will use the Hostname and Port supplied
# by the client.  When set "On", Apache will use the value of the
# ServerName directive.
#
UseCanonicalName Off
