#37323 [Csd->Bgs]: SERVER_NAME not following apache directive

ID: 37323 Updated by: mike@php.net Reported By: jameslporter at gmail dot com -Status: Closed +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Apache2 related Operating System: Gentoo PHP Version: 5.1.4 New Comment: If you want to file a doc bug, please do so. This is a actully not a PHP bug, so it has to be marked as bogus. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-05-05 18:01:45] jameslporter at gmail dot com This is not a bug at all! You simply need to change the UseCanonicalName to on!! With it off it will use the header, with it on it will use the ServerName configuration. http://www.apacheref.com/ref/http_core/UseCanonicalName.html Maybe add a note about this in the documentation...I saw a few other bug reports similar to this with no resolution. I'm sure a lot of people get frustrated by this! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-05-05 17:34:32] mike@php.net 1.) I doubt they will change anything. 2.) That's just how it is. If you have a certificate for xxx.com you must ensure that users are only accessing xxx.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-05-05 17:21:52] jameslporter at gmail dot com <?php $envs = apache_getenv('Server_Name'); print_r($envs); ?> This will output www.website.com or website.com as well....I assume that this is truly what Apache reports then....Guess it goes up to them now? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-05-05 17:05:10] jameslporter at gmail dot com Yes, thats why we need our login link to have the SERVER_NAME so that the link would be echo '<a href="https://'.$_SERVER[SERVER_NAME].'/index.php'; Then the browser would be on the correct hostname to compare, rather then showing a warning because www.website.com doesn't match website.com 'SERVER_NAME' The name of the server host under which the current script is executing. If the script is running on a virtual host, this will be the value defined for that virtual host. Hmm, bug or no bug? If this is "bogus" then the documentation needs clarifying. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-05-05 17:00:19] mike@php.net This doesn't have anything to do with the coice of scripting language. You know that the browser compares the current host name and the one from the cert? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
