Author Host Headers

Hi,

I've just moved a helpdesk application from IIS across to a CentOS
server. We used to call the page using a DNS name that I had
configured in IIS using the Host Header and set that via the DNS on
SBS 2003.

I was wondering where I add the Host Header in Apache so I can do the
same?

Am a bit new to all this

Thanks for any replies.

As long as the server name is resolved to the Apache's server machine
there should be non need to change anything. If you want to be
super-safe, just assign the server name to the machine by adding it
to /etc/hosts

Look at virtual host in httpd.conf ( or in <webdir>/conf/extra/
virtualhost.con if you are using apache.2.2.xx )
There is some explanation about named virtual host
I suggest youbuy the exellent O'reilly book on Apache.
