Hi I’m trying to find where the value for $domain is stored on a Marketplace wordpress install
during installation it asks for you domain and a few other things and then it updates files
The /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf file is below
UseCanonicalName On
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerName $domain
ServerAlias www.$domain
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
<Directory /var/www/html/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
I’m tryng to find where the value $domain is stored I checked the only spot I know of /etc/apache2/conf-available/fqdn.conf and it’s not there
I know I could directly change that value ServerName [NEW-DOMAIN-NAME] but would like to know where that variable is being stored in case it affects other things.
also side question where is the value for ${APACHE_LOG_DIR} stored at.
Thanks

Hello,
I’ve just gone through the initial setup script for the Marketplace Wordpress Droplet and it looks like that the only place where the $domain is specified is in the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf file.
You could take a look at the setup script as well, to do so just create a new Wordpress Droplet from the Marketplace, then SSH to the droplet, press CTRL+C to exit the setup screen and with your favorite text editor open this file here:
/opt/digitalocean/wp_setup.sh
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
Hi,
Same here! I would like to know where $domain is stored because I change my wordpress url and $_SERVER[‘SERVER_NAME’] still has the old url so I have some bad redirect (like /wp-admin).
I know I could directly change that value but I prefer to know where $domain is store to change it. You didn’t answer that question… and can’t find it.
Update : Found a solution! In site-available the conf file is using $domain but in site-enabled the conf file contains the url that I could modify.
