I had everything working just fine -- or so I thought! There are only 3 things I did between then and now, none of which I would have thought would have the effect of srewing up the serving of index.html files in servlets directories!
behaviour --------- On port 8080, everything works just fine. On port 80, example servlets will work when called directly (such as http://nyama/examples/servlet/HelloWorldExample) but trying to get the list of servlets at http://nyama/examples/servlets/index.html produces the error "HTTP Status 302 - Moved Temporarily"!?! Other HTML pages work fine, such as reqheaders.html, and when I copies index.html to fred.html it alos worked fine. There don't seem to be any obvious error in the tomcat logs, but then I don't really know what to look for. things I did ------------ As I said above there were only three things I did between the time I got everything to be working just as it should and now (presented in the order of execution): 1] write my own servlet which I got to compile and work properly (until now) 2] switch from jakarta-servletapi-3.2 to jakarta-servletapi-4 which I thought would be a good thing 3] attempt to switch from Tomcat 4.0 to Tomcat 4.0.1 All I did was install the new files under /usr/local/jakarta, then switch the symbolic link tomcat from jakarta-tomcat-4.0 to jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1.. I got some really odd errors, and Apache stopped serving regular pages, so I thought it best to stick with Tomcat 4.0 until I had more time to play with the configuration. I then switched the symlink back and removed the 4.0.1 directory. That's it folks. Now I'm screwed up again and don't know why. Help!!!
