[Phpwiki-talk] Wiki shows signs of life but still not functional

[Tim B. <tim...@wc...>]

All,

My wiki can be accessed by my local machine on which it resides, but no other 
machines can get to it.  It seems to be doing redirects to localhost, 
127.0.0.1.  I do not think this is being done by the OS (Linux RH 7.2) 
configuration or by the server, Apache (v 1.3.20-16).  The reason for this 
belief is that I can pull up the default apache web page by going to my ip 
address on another machine, but when I add /phpwiki/index.php to the location 
I get an error message that says "localhost 127.0.0.1 not found."  I believe 
I am missing a piece with regard to the index.php file.  Any and all 
suggestions are most welcome.

Tim B.

(I'm assuming that you're running PhpWiki 1.3.x, and mod_php...)

A couple of things to try:

1. In index.php, define USE_PATH_INFO to 'false'.  (Just uncomment the
sample line which is already there.)

or

2. Also in index.php, define SERVER_NAME to the name (or ip address) of
your server.

If either fixes the problem, I think it means that apache is not setting
the CGI environment variable $SERVER_NAME correctly...

It might also be helpful to create a phpinfo script and check what value
is being assigned to SERVER_NAME.  (Create a file called, say,
phpinfo.php, in your htdoc tree which contains one line:  <?php phpinfo();
?> When you browse the file, you'll see loads and loads of information
regarding the configuration of your PHP (and Apache).)

PS.  This isn't in a virtual hosting environment is it?  If so, then the
problem is probably that you must access the server using a host name, not
an IP number....

did this one as well and now I am getting errors which make me think I'm on 
the threshold of solving the last of the issues here.  I'll generate a new 
thread for this one.

No, it isn't

Good.  Eventually you probably want to find a way to re-enable USE_PATH_INFO
(if PHP is running as mod_php, and not CGI).  (It results in (IMHO) prettier
URLs --- not a big deal in any case.)
