ncsa ServerName problem (fwd)



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

A colleague of mine is having some trouble installing ncsa on a dialup
debian machine to use for dwww. Given it is a dialup machine and therefore
has no valid DNS entry, how can he get around this? Any help is gratefully
appreciated. Cheers, Colin.

No joy with ncsa (I switched to the version you sent me). It seems that
ServerName is an entry in the httpd.conf file. I changed it to emma and
tried to start the server manually, but I got exactly the same error
message as before. The file warns that

# Note: You cannot just invent host names and hope they work. The name you
# define here must be a valid DNS name for your host. If you don't understand
# this, ask your network administrator.

Since emma has no valid DNS name, perhaps I am out of luck. And yes, the 
file /etc/hostname exists and just contains "emma".

Cheers, James.
