Hi Mai,

The part about viewing imagexyz.tiff in Safari but not in Firefox is 
probably due to "local cache" on Safari. In other words, if you were to 
quit Safari and try again or purposely "refresh" the web browser it will 
ping Apache and come back with nothing. 

Unless there is a funky setting that serves up pages differently based on 
browser type, Apache will treat both Safari and Firefox the same way.

Another way to say it is you tricked yourself by modifying Apache settings 
*after* viewing the image in Safari then you probably viewed it for the 
first time in Firefox... thus the discrepancy.

Dear List,
I have searched the list, but did not see much discussion about this 
topic.

Is there a need to set the "DocumentRoot" in Apache httpd.conf to the 
standard "/Library/WebServer/Documents"?

I found that using Safari, the 
/WebObjects/MyApp.woa/Contents/WebServer/Resources/imagexyz.tiff can be 
found without setting the Apache Document root in httpd.conf, but it does 
not work for other browsers like Firefox.
Can someone explain the difference between WODocumentRoot and DocumentRoot 
(Apache)? Can one use either one?

Any enlightened tips are much appreciated,

thanks,

-mai
