I have a WordPress blog running on lighttpd-1.4.19, listening on at www00:81. On the same host, apache-2.2.11 listens on port 80, which creates a proxy connection from http://blog.mydomain.org:80 to http://blog.mydomain.org:81.
The Apache virtualhost looks as follows:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName blog.mydomain.org
ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass / http://blog.mydomain.org:81/
ProxyPassReverse / http://blog.mydomain.org:81/
</VirtualHost>
Using debug.log-request-handling = "enable" I get the following log entry when I browse http://blog.mydomain.org:80 (notice the Host headers):
2010-05-10 08:47:14: (request.c.294) fd: 6 request-len: 853
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: blog.mydomain.org:81
[...]
2010-05-10 08:47:15: (request.c.294) fd: 8 request-len: 754
GET /wp-content/uploads/2010/01/image.gif?w=280 HTTP/1.1
Host: www00:81
My problem: as far as I know, the PHP environment variable $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] is set to that Host header variable. Unfortunately, WordPress uses that variable in their system to create URLs to pictures on the blog. These URLs won't be accessible behind a firewall of course. How can I force the host header to be blog.mydomain.org instead of blog.mydomain.org:81, respectively www00:81? I already added set server.name = "blog.mydomain.org" to my lighttpd.conf, but this didn't work.
Any suggestions are appreciated, thank you.
