I am moving websites from one server to another. Both are on a similar variant of Centos 5 x64 with Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.2.X.
Some of my scripts ,including WordPress, are behaving incorrectly. It turns out the issue is the difference between the REQUEST_URI global:
On the older server: REQUEST_URI = /phpinfo.php
On the new server: REQUEST_URI = http://www.example.com/phpinfo.php
I have changed my own code to accommodate either variant but don’t really want to do it for WordPress etc.
What do I need to do in apache/php to make REQUEST_URI behave as per the old server?
At a guess, the old server is processing the request using the default vhost while the newer server uses a named virtual host (although that could be back to front).
