"server1" redirects to IP address

[jfm30204]

I have 8.04 server installed and a website at server1/site (or server1/ave411/public_html/site).

When I put "server1/site" or "192.168.x.xx/site" in the browser address bar, it redirects to my IP address, or 72.xxx.xxx.xx/site. This way, I'm not really accessing the site over the network, am I? Why does this happen?

If you're being redirected, then either a redirect is being added to your http header by an apache module (mod_rewrite) or web script (php,perl), or the page you are accessing uses javascript (window.location) or a meta refresh to redirect you.

Post this output


wget http://server1/site -O - |grep http://

Here's the important part. Everything after that is just the html from the fetched page:

wget http://server1/xgal -O - |grep http://

I think I know the cause. This is a Xoops site, and in mainfile.php, the Xoops url is 72.148.198.53/xgal. So, Xoops is doing the redirecting. So, thanks. I can take it from here. If I get stuck, I'll post again.
