Manual talk:Running MediaWiki on macOS

We are getting a strange error, after the wiki was running fine for a while. Now, external users get a DNS error saying that

If one tries to go to our site at: http://barracloughltd.com/mediawiki

the following error comes up: It can not find http://barracloughltd-com.local

in other words, the .com is changed to -com and the /mediawiki is changed to .local

What is that all about?

If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Edward M. Roche Barraclough Ltd. eroche@barracloughltd.com

I am seeing something similar. Everything on my system runs fine for a while from a remote location and then it will try accessing the a local name for the server. For example instead of mydomainname.com it will try to read from macmini.local. macmini is the name of the computer on the local apple network.

thank yo for your help,

bryan

I also seem to be having a similar problem whenever http://192.168.1.2/wiki is loaded it becomes http://mac.local/wiki and none of the computers other than the one hosting it can then find the server
