Hey folks,
I've installed Mediawiki a few times now with great success; kudos to the
folks that made the install so painless.
I'm faced with installing Mediawiki on a machine which has a slightly
strange network topology. Basically, there are two interfaces on the
machine: one answers to machine.net1.example.com and the other to
machine.net2.example.com. Computers on the net1 local subnet are blocked
from accessing the machine over the net2 interface; same goes for net2
machines trying to get to net1. Apache considers the machine.net1 address
to be canonical, so after Mediawiki installs a machine that tries to reach
the Mediawiki install from net2 has their URL redirected to the canonical
net1 address, and therefore is blocked.
What I want to know is there a reasonably simple way to get Mediawiki to
disregard the canonical address and just use
http://machine.net2.example.com/ when referred to as such? Is there a
sane and safe way to disable the redirect?
Thanks much for any information,
jf
