I was unable to find any information on this particular issue online. Essentialy, if you install media wiki to mywiki.com it will automaticly redirect to www.mywiki.com. I would much prefer using the url without the www so I poked around google and the media wiki docs trying to find the answer, with no luck.
I found that it will redirect to whatever is the primary address for the site as specified in the httpd.conf file for apache. so instead of this…
ServerAlias mywiki.com
ServerName www.mywiki.com
It would be this…
ServerAlias www.mywiki.com
ServerName mywiki.com
This is in the virtualhost section of the conf file.

My god have I been stressed out at work lately. At any given time in the last few weeks some facet of my job has been on my mind. But it is all starting to pay off.
I have finished the cluster. The Novell implementation is going nicely. A firewall/IDS box will be completed soon. Primary web site revamp underway.
Each one of those will be blog posts in and of themselves.
The cluster is an awesome thing. I have never had my hands on so much computing power before. It consists of 5 nodes, each node is a dual opteron dual core machine with at least 2 gigs of ram each. So that is a total of 20 CPUs of pure beefy opteron power. One of the nodes (the type2 node) contains 8 gigs of ram with another 8 being delivered any day now.
In a (near) future blog entry I will go over my install experience, pitfalls I encountered and how I over came them and a step-by-step tutorial with pics.

I would like to send out a big THANK YOU to Nic Howell for whipping up the new downgrade logo. Much appreciated and very happy with the way it turned out.

I have migrated my site to wordpress. Blogg technology has moved on but the neBlog software that Drew and I wrote hasn’t. Neither he nor I have the time to hack away at it so I am moving on.
I am also in the process of moving away from coldfusion and into php. I feel that PHP has far more quality open source applications and I’m tired of writing everything as I need it. I don’t have time for the… “I need a blog, better get writing” …stuff anymore.
