With 1.3b3, a trailing "/" was normally required in the <directory ..path..> directive, but with 1.3b6 I had to remove them to make the path valid for Apache. I suggested requiring the trailing forward slash in all directives for unity throughout all configurations, when refering to either a URL or a local path. http://www.dodah.com/situation/ and/or c:/apache/htdocs/dodah/publicdocs/ I hope I have made more sense... Sorry for any confusion. Ive been using Apache since the 1.3b3 release and have become fairly proficient with the config of it. Thats why I made the PR when I found a discrepancy from one ver to another. I do in fact understand where and when the trailing "/" was needed, just the rules changed on me. :) Thanks, Andrew --------------------------------------------------------------------- Digispec "Your Digital Specialist" www.digispec.com Custom Programming for the Internet & More!
