I Downloaded apache_2.0.53-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi for the first time ever.
Took all defaults and completed the installation error free.
I decided I had a bug to report but first I would try and uninstall 2.0.53
and install the newest 2.0.54.
The following description of the problem happens on BOTH versions
of Apache. The error message comes out in a DOS window and starts a
countdown of 30 seconds. The server never starts.
I've tried numerous combinations, read the FAQ and the manual and
searched the web. I would read the source code except that:
1) I don't have any way to compile it and
2) I have a dial up and don't feel like getting up
at 4:00 am to start a download ;-)
It seems to me that given that I only made 1 change ( put the
alias/directory directives in httpd.conf ), I should see the frameset
parsed correctly.
I'm running Windows 2K Professional BTW.
If anyone has seen this before or perhaps has a pointer to some info.
I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
Gary
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
This involves parsing a <LINK> statement in a file "src"'d from
a frameset contained in index.html.
Using the Jakarta ANT api docs. on my hard drive the portion of index.html
we're interested in is:
<TITLE>
Ant API
</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET cols="20%,80%">
<FRAMESET rows="30%,70%">
<FRAME src="overview-frame.html" name="packageListFrame">
<FRAME src="allclasses-frame.html" name="packageFrame">
</FRAMESET>
<FRAME src="overview-summary.html" name="classFrame">
</FRAMESET>
and the top of allclasses-frame.html looks like:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0
Frameset//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/frameset.dtd";>
<!--NewPage-->
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<!-- Generated by javadoc on Fri Mar 02 23:40:07 GMT+11:00 2001 -->
<TITLE>
All Classes
</TITLE>
<LINK REL="stylesheet" TYPE='text/css' HREF="stylesheet.css"
TITLE="Style">
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="white">
<FONT size="+1" CLASS="FrameHeadingFont">
<B>All Classes</B></FONT>
<BR>
<TABLE BORDER="0" WIDTH="100%">
and my httpd.conf is original except for the following addition:
Alias /ant "C:/ant/jakarta-ant-1.3/docs/api/index.html"
<Directory "C:/ant/jakarta-ant-1.3/docs/api">
Include C:/ant/jakarta-ant-1.3/docs/api/*.html
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I get the following error in allclasses-frame.html when I start Apache:
Syntax error on line 10 of
C:/ant/jakarta-ant-1.3/docs/api/allclasses-frame.html:
Expected </LINK> but saw </HEAD>
Note the errors or messages above, and press the <ESC> key to exit.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I put "/>" onto the end of the <LINK ...> statement in
allclasses-frame.html
I get the error:
Syntax error on line 11 of
C:/ant/jakarta-ant-1.3/docs/api/allclasses-frame.html:
Expected </LINK> but saw </HEAD>
Note the errors or messages above, and press the <ESC> key to exit.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I remove the "/>" and put </LINK> into allclasses-frame.html I get the
error:
Syntax error on line 11 of
C:/ant/jakarta-ant-1.3/docs/api/allclasses-frame.html:
Expected </!--> but saw </HEAD>
Note the errors or messages above, and press the <ESC> key to exit.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I decided to take all 4 files ( index.html, allclasses-frame.html,
overview-frame.html and
overview-summary.html ) and move them to a TMP_APACHE subdirectory under C: and
try
paring things down.
The whole contents of allclasses-frame.html in the TMP_APACHE area looks like:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0
Frameset//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/frameset.dtd";>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<LINK REL="stylesheet" TYPE='text/css' HREF="stylesheet.css"
TITLE="Style">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
HI
</BODY>
</HTML>
And the only entry in the original httpd.conf was changed as follows:
Alias /test "C:/TMP_APACHE/index.html"
<Directory "C:/TMP_APACHE">
Include "C:/TMP_APACHE/*.html"
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I try to start Apache I get:
Syntax error on line 5 of C:/TMP_APACHE/allclasses-frame.html:
Expected </LINK> but saw </HEAD>
Note the errors or messages above, and press the <ESC> key to exit.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I put the </LINK> in, I get a completely unexpected error:
Syntax error on line 1 of C:/TMP_APACHE/allclasses-frame.html:
C:/TMP_APACHE/allclasses-frame.html:1: <!DOCTYPE> was not closed. <<=== NOTE
WELL !!
Note the errors or messages above, and press the <ESC> key to exit.
