[Koha-devel] rewrite-config.PL

14 Jan 2010

      Hi,

  I had problems with rewrite-config.PL with a commercial hosting
  company where the hostname() gave a wrong answer. I suggest to
  replace to call to hostname() in rewrite-config.PL with calls to
  system utilities that a user could use to verify the state of the
  system. From the code of 3.00.04_fixed, I suggest a new
  rewrite-config.PL as

diff rewrite-config_org.PL rewrite-config.PL
63,65c63,73
< $myhost = hostname();
< $mydomain = $myhost;
< $mydomain =~ s/^.*?\.//;
---
...
# set host and domain using dns utility calls
my $myhost = `hostname`;
chomp $myhost;
my $mydomain= `dnsdomainname`;
chomp $mydomain;
# use earlier method if this fails
if(not $myhost or not $mydomain) {
    $myhost = hostname();
    $mydomain = $myhost;
    $mydomain =~ s/^.*?\.//;
}
Cheers,
