Strange Apache Problem
« on: 31 August 2003, 00:50 »
I have a web site running off my Mac's apache:
http://www.skinner.com/jeffberg

Now I found a very strange bug.
If I type http://www.skinner.com/jeffberg/itunes/ it will show me all of my music as it is supposed to, but if I type:
http://www.skinner.com/jeffberg/itunes it forwards the address to 127.0.0.1/itunes.  Now from my computer this is fine, but over the internet it gives an error, cus 127.0.0.1 is trying to connect to its own computer.

How do I make it so itunes or itunes/ will work?
P.S. It does this on all folders.

hmmmm... i have never had this problem... do you have a file named "itunes" in /jeffberg/ ?

do you have any other subdirs of jeffberg/ that do the same?

it was a gpl'd php thing so I did it.(for fun)  And yes all folders do this for example: (i'll use the real address now)

http://jeffberg.homelinux.com:6969/files/ will show the index of files
while http://jeffberg.homelinux.com:6969/files with no slash will go to http://127.0.0.1/files/

no there is no file in itunes called itunes.

here is another good example:
http://jeffberg.homelinux.com:6969/alpha/ will bring u to a little flash animation i made
while http://jeffberg.homelinux.com:6969/alpha will bring you to http://127.0.0.1/alpha/

The weird thing is is that I replaced my edited httpd.conf to see if it was something I did, with the original and it still did this.

So I am really confused

I vagualey remember reading something about how apache handles folders & files, if there is no trailing slash, it thinks it is looking for a file. And in your case, apache tells the browser to look on your system for it. I think there is a way to fix that, but i am not that 'edumacated' in apache. I will try to find a fix though, since i have had that problem as well.

I found this.  Not sure if it is of any help.  I couldn't decode it because it is for the windows apache.  I will try enabling mod_dir though and see if that works

*edit* mod_dir is already enabled in the config file... no luck with that one.

check your apache config and see if "mod_dir" is configed.
it can redirect the www.yoursite.com/somedir to www.yoursite.com/somedir/
