Hi,
Could the type of the image (tiff) be the problem? It is not a common Web Browser type. Perhaps safari knows how to display tiff images and other browser do not know?

Just a guess.

Regards,

Ute

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
