apache server going to .local

[manchot]

so i'm setting up my old mac as a server with apache just for fun and i have everything set up but i noticed that say if i type in:

mylamenoobsite.com/blkadgag/

and the page doesn't exist it will go to the 404... BUT if i type in

mylamenoobsite.com/blkadgag

and the page doesn't exist it will forward the site to nameofmycomputer.local/blkadgag

how do i stop this and just let it go to the 404?

tyvm

edit: also even it is a real page that loads correctly for example:

mylamenoobsite.com/realpage/

if i take the slash out

mylamenoobsite.com/realpage

it will then try to redirect to mycomputer.local/realpage
any help?

You need to edit your httpd.conf file, located at /etc/httpd/httpd.conf

Uncomment "ServerName" and set it to your yourlamenoobsite.com ( )

Don't forget to restart apache after:

sudo apachectl restart

 

[manchot]

worked like a charm.
