After reviewing some of these problems with Apache, my question is, What does using Apache buy you on the front end. I realize for static content it will help but Slide and a fairly Java intensive process so where is the benefit? Security? If Apache was delivering content directly from the file system it would be a benefit, but doesn't everything have to go through Tomcat anyway. Not trying to be difficult, just curious r, Hugh

I've done some (alot) of hacking, and I've found the root cause of the problem: mod_webapp does not recognize the mapping unless you SPECIFY A TRAILING '/' i.e. if you do this: http://localhost/webdav this will NOT work http://localhost/webdav/ this WILL work Unfortunately, Windows will happily clip the trailing '/' you put when defining a Webfolder, and there's no way around this from what I can tell. I hacked around with mod_rewrite for a few hours to see if I could work-around this but no luck. What does work, however, is if a sub-folder/collection/dir is specified, like so: http://localhost/webdav/myHome Obviously, 'myHome' is the entry point instead of the root of your collection. This is what I'm going to use for the time being as I have all my stuff in a sub-dir already ;) hope that helps Pratik -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
