Yeah, I saw those, but what would I set them to?
I need to access the wiki (through my tunnel from home) at
http://localhost:8080/wiki/
Everyone else in the office (on the same local net as the wiki)
accesses the wiki at its real address: http://10.0.0.10/wiki.
I can't very well set the SERVER_NAME to localhost, because then anyone
accessing it directly (not through a tunnel) will have links pointing
them to their local computer.
Also, I happen to choose port 8080 for my tunnel, but what if someone
else chooses local port 8000? or 4566?
What I have done in the interim is changed the IP address to a hostname
(wikiserv), so on the same private net as the wiki, people can access
http://wikiserv/wiki. I can then modify my /etc/hosts file on my local
computer to alias wikserv to localhost. Further, since I can be root, I
have set the source port of my ssh tunnel to port 80 instead of 8080,
which lets me access the wiki at http://wikiservr/wiki as well.
This is an unsatisfactory solution, because it is
* excessively complex for a non-technical remote employee
* takes over port 80, preventing me from running a local web server.
(the second point is more important in my mind)
I think making the URLs relative instead of absolute within the wiki
would be far preferable.
Thoughts?
