Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: Missing or Invalid TAF file problem

Justin,
Mixed linux/unix/OS X and windows is not a configuration we have on  
our test matrix as up until recently the companies were normally  
polarised regarding the OS for serves.

A simple test would be to create a helloworld.html file.  See if  
apache servers it.  Then change the .html of the file to .tml and see  
if the Witango server will process it.  This should resolve whether  
permissions are part of your problem.

It may be an issue with / vs \ for the different file systems.  IIS  
may be doing some conversion of / from the URL to \ for the file  
system which apache2 on Linux doesn't do because it is expecting to  
be talking to a linux file system.

What are your apache logs and witango logs showing in terms of the  
file each process is looking for?  Are the  / the right way around  
for the respective OS.

If you run up something like tcpflow, you can see what is being sent  
between the witango apache 2 module on linux to the Witango server on  
Windows?  The LISTENERPORT in the witango.ini file will tell you what  
port to filter on.  You should be able to see if apache has found the  
file and sent it to the Witango server and what path is sent to the  
Witango Server.  If you have file caching turned on try turning it  
off and see if it makes a difference.


Regards

Phil
