[SLUG] Apache 1.3.33 displaying gifs weirdly!

2005-04-07 Thread Michael Kraus
G'day all...
 
I've got a FC3 with a custom built apache 1.3.33 (i.e. with mod_perl
1.29 and mod_ssl 2.8.22) - built as per (ORA's) the mod_perl book.
 
Everything is straight and fresh out-of-the-box so to speak, however
when I go to http://myserver/ http://myserver/manual  the images are
OK on the first viewing of the first page with a browser, but as soon as
I go to another page on the server (e.g. http://myserver/manual) the
images break, or are displayed funny. (They just don't look the same.)

Has anyone else observed this behaviour and/or know what is to be done?

Thanks!

 the images break, or are displayed funny. (They just don't 
 look the same.)

That is to say, they are skewed, if they are able to be displayed. The
seem to be corrupted by the server somehow.

(Viewing them with an gthumb on the server shows that they're fine
though.)

Firstly no.. never seen anything like that. Also perhaps you should 
elaborate on don't look the same. Since rendering of images is almost 
exclusively under client control I can't see how the webserver has much 
effect. Things to look out for are caching of the images (ie if you set 
your browser not to load images, but it finds them in the cache it'll 
still display them and they're probably different). Also the webserver 
naturally can specify some attributes like size/resolution and borders and 
layout, but not stuff like number of colours. The other thing of note 
might be the location the webserver fetches them from, you might somehow 
have stuffed up and have a few versions in different places.

The apache manual and icons are found by Aliases.
This may have something to do with it.

(I also don't get 'displayed funny' -- they should appear or not.)

If the Alias is not working, you might be just seeing client
cached versions of things. Flush your cache for a truer picture.
