yup :) > This configuration had been working under mp1. yes, because mp1 is configured to handle requests of type DIR_MAGIC_TYPE whereas mp2 is not. this is a bug or a feature, depending on whether you think mp1 was correct or not :) see http://www.masonhq.com/?HandlingDirectoriesWithDhandlers for a good discussion, and a fixup handler that will likely fix your problem. you can also search the archives for the Apache::Dir discussion that (IIRC) yielded that document. --Geoff
