#52 How I define my domain?

[Anonymous]

Sir,
I installed osFAQ v1.2-ST
All is OK, but I face a little problem.
When I try to Create a Category or FAQ or when I try to change the settings, I was redirected to my cpanel's url.

Example:
I install osFAQ in www.mydomain.in/support

When I try to change the "Default Timezone?" the script was redirected to the link given bellow.
http://eu7.host.org/support/scp/osfaq_admin.php?settings=true&action=edit_setting&fsID=2

it should be
http://www.mydomain.in/support/scp/osfaq_admin.php?settings=true&action=edit_setting&fsID=2

So please help me how do I define my domain?

How to change it?
http://eu7.host.org/
to
http://www.mydomain.in/

Thanking You

Hi,
Please edit the file /faq/include/config.faq.php

Change line 26 from:
define('SERVER_DOMAIN', $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']);

to
define('SERVER_DOMAIN', 'www.mydomain.in');

If you need more control, you can specify specific domains for http and https if you are using SSL. They are on lines 31 and 32.

Kind Regards,
Tim Gall

So I remove the code
$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']

Thanks for your help.
another question?
Is it ok if I change

define('SERVER_DOMAIN', $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']);
to
define('SERVER_DOMAIN', getenv('HTTP_HOST');

Sorry, I missed your reply earlier.

Yes replace $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']
with 'www.mydomain.in'
Dont forget the single quotes.

Yes getenv('HTTP_HOST') would also be ok but you might end up with the same problem you were having previously. Give it a try, It wont hurt anything.

By the way you are missing a closing bracket in the example you posted.
define('SERVER_DOMAIN', getenv('HTTP_HOST');
should be:
define('SERVER_DOMAIN', getenv('HTTP_HOST'));

You could also use:
$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']

Most of the $_SERVER variables are set based on your webservers installation, so your HTTP_HOST entry may be more reliable than the SERVER_NAME entry. Both are in the $_SERVER global array set by the webserver; both should usually be the same.

getenv() will check all of the global server arrays for a matching entry.

Hope that helps.
