Hi all,
I want to ask some questions about Apache on Win32:
- someone asked me for mod_vhost_alias on Win32, so I compiled it and it loads into
Server, but didnt test more with it; can we add this to the 1.3 Win32 project or does
someone think it will not run for some reason? (I didnt look at the code because it
compiled without problems).
- as there is a makefile for mod_example for unix present also there should be one for
other platforms as Win32 and NetWare too, not build by default but present in the
project.
- the manual doesnt work after build, at least not on Win32 and NetWare. I have to add
always the 'Includes' and 'AddHandler server-parsed .html' directives. As you know I
posted this issue already to the list and someone told me that the files will be
expanded; but at least with NetWare I'm 100% sure that there expands nothing and on
Win32 also after 'InstallBin' the manual isnt functional. I think it would be nice if
we add these two directives to the new directory block of ./manual because then we
have immediatly after a build also a functioning sample for SSI:
<Directory "sys:/apache/manual">
AddHandler server-parsed .html
Options Includes Indexes FollowSymlinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
I have here only added what is neccessary, but I would also remove Indexes and
FollowSymlinks as these are not needed there.
- currently we have 45 warnings with the Win32 build of 1.3: does it make sense that I
look through it and make some casts to make VC6 happy and contribute patches?
- I've used a patch against mod_autoindex which enables setting of colors with server
generated indexes and it works fine; no I wanted to build mod_autoindex as separate
module, but when I do so mod_autoindex runs fine but 'MultiViews' doesnt work anymore!
Is this because of wrong load order? I tested this only with NetWare, so it may be an
issue with this platform...
