UseAlternativeConfigurations

Question

Is there something I can do to get the base URL from the server?

Answer

Here's what I do. Hackish, I know, but it works:

Inside local/config.php, before any $...Url variables are declared

    
if(($sn=$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'])=='127.0.0.1'){
 ...stuff for the config locally...
}else{
 ...stuff for config somewhere else...
}

The $sn variable I use inside both configs as a domain name for urls, like:

$ScriptUrl = "http://$sn/pmwiki/";

Instead of 127.0.0.1 you can use:

• localhost (equivalent) or
• any specific domain name or IP number to create alternative setups for various wikis/farms.
