Resolving directory calls on Apache
|
|
|
| Hi there,
I've used php123 from firepages, before, and decided to try
apache2triad. Did a fresh install. It runs apache2. I can get to:
127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin
but
localhost/phpmyadmin
does not work. However,
http://localhost/apache2cp/apache2cp.html
does resolve correctly (so it isn't the hosts file). Anything that
ends without a specific file sends me to my IE "default" homepage with
a search. How do I get localhost to allow the directory type call
like above? What's the magic config?
Sorry for the new question. I just don't think I'm googling the right
terms.
Thanks!

Meaning? Do you get a 'page not found' or what?

Probably because IE doesn't understand that you want a web page, try
using Mozilla or another browser.

I presume it is a folder, so that _file_ is indeed non-exsistant.

After adding a trailing slash to both arguments of an alias or a scriptalias
directive, append it to your request too: "localhost/phpmyadmin/"

" Trailing Slash Problem
Description: Every webmaster can sing a song about the problem of the
trailing slash on URLs referencing directories. If they are missing, the
server dumps an error, because if you say /~quux/foo instead of /~quux/foo/
then the server searches for a file named foo. And because this file is a
directory it complains. Actually it tries to fix it itself in most of the
cases, but sometimes this mechanism need to be emulated by you. For instance
after you have done a lot of complicated URL rewritings to CGI scripts etc.

Hey,
Geez, you're right here. netscape had no problem. Asking for
http://localhost gave me the directory listing.
Originally, I had IE installed from an AT&T disk, so IE when it gets
the same address above, defaults to:
http://www.att.net/cgi-bin/websearc...y&qry=localhost
but 127.0.0.1 works fine.
That's bizarre. I don't even know how to phrase the question to ask
why IE does this. If you know, don't just say because it's crap...
