EZproxy FAQ - Host some web url or IP address

I got the following EZproxy Hostname error, What do I do? To allow /login to work, your EZproxy administrator must first authorize this within the ezproxy.cfg file. Within this database’s section of the file, the following line must be added:             Host some web url or IP address The EZproxy server must then be restarted to make this change take effect. You will get an EZproxy Hostname Error page when you attempt to access content on a computer host that has not yet been set up for use by our EZproxy server. The proxy server administrator must specify all the domains (i.e., silverplatter.com) and computer hostnames (i.e., spweb.silverplatter.com) for which the proxy server should be used. In this case, all the online library resources. Database vendors often change domain names, or pull content from new computer hosts without ever informing libraries. Thus, when a hostname error occurs, EZproxy's configuration must be updated to include the new host for proxying. To expedite the correction of this error, please note: the name of the resource you were trying to access the computer hostname line listed on the error page and report it via the feedback form. This problem will be corrected as soon as your notice is received.
