[NTLUG:Discuss] Apache Config Question

Read the online manual that got installed with your Apache server. The option
you're looking for is called: ServerName. Note that to use this effectively,
you'll need to set up virtual hosts for all the different names you want to
accept and have all those virtual hosts return the same ServerName.

Make sense?  :) Feel free to holler at me if you have any other questions.

Thought for the day --
Sometimes, when I drive across the desert in the middle of the night,
with no other cars around, I start imagining: What if there were no
civilization out there? No cities, no factories, no people? And then I
think: No people or factories? Then who made this car? And this
highway? And I get so confused I have to stick my head out the window
into the driving rain - unless there's lightning, because I could get
struck on the head by a bolt.
