2.3.134 ServerName

Description

ServerName specifies the server name and the port number of the web server.

According to the specified value in the UseCanonicalName directive, the server name that can be accessed from the client must be specified because requests such as those using image maps or those that have a directory specified without a forward slash (/) at the end are sent back to the client when a redirect is ordered from the web server and the redirect destination is set to the Location header. This directive must be specified.

Syntax

ServerName server_name[:port_number]
