So I have this very clean Red Hat 7.0 system: [root@tetine httpd]# rpm -V apache mod_perl [root@tetine httpd]# I download the Apache::TreeBrowser module from http://modperl.com/ and put the TreeBrowser.pm file in /etc/httpd/Apache (which I just created). At the very end of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, I add the following four lines: <Location /> SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::TreeBrowser </Location> I restart my web server (with "/etc/init.d/httpd restart"), wait a little, then go fiddle with it. *** It doesn't work. *** The first part of path_info is "eaten" somewhere. Let me explain: If I start at the root (http://127.0.0.1/), everything looks fine, path_info is "/". I click on "bark". Now it's not fine, path_info still says "/", URL says "/bark/" (just like my location bar in my browser) and the web page says that I am at the "Tree Root" node. Now, if I click *again* on "bark", I am now at /bark/bark/, the path_info is "/bark/", the URL is "/bark/bark/" and the web page says that I am at the "bark" node. The translated path says /var/www/html/bark, even though there is no such directory, of course. Now for the most interesting: If I change the <Location /> into a <Location /tree>, EVERYTHING IS FINE. So this seems to be an exceptional case that happens only at /!?! So what's going on here?!? -- Pierre Phaneuf http://www3.sympatico.ca/pphaneuf/
