- Hi There,
- I finished installing and configuring a gopher server on a DEC 5000 runing
- Ultrix. I edited the Makefile.config, and put:
- DOMAIN ="" since my machine returns the whole domain name.
- like xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.edu for example
- then I pointed my DOS gopher client to point to the srver I;ve just finished
- building, and found that the server appended .micro.umn.edu to my hostname.
- I went back to the server and edited the .cache file and deleted the extras
- which is .micro.umn.edu. I know that this, editing the .cache file, is
- not the solution because the the file will be updated every 3 minutes.
- can any one help with this problem.
-
- Thanks.
