Phil,
I tried the html/tml test. The .html file was served correctly, the
.tml file exhibited the same problem as the .taf files have been. I
also turned off caching on the Witango server, but to no effect.
I think you might be on the right track with regard to the / vs \
problem... Both the Apache and Witango logs had the correct path
(/foo.tml in this example), but looking at the TCP dump logs I ran
across an interesting error. The HTTP GET message contained the correct
PATH_INFO (/foo.tml) and PATH_TRANSLATED (/srv/www/htdocs/foo.tml)
values when it was sent to the Witango server. However, the response
from the Witango server contained the path with the /s replaced with
\s: \srv\www\htdocs\foo.tml.
Is this a server setting that can be changed, or am I up the creek here?

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

Hello all,
My company currently runs two Witango Server 5.5 application servers
(on Windows 2000), and one web server running IIS (also on Windows
2000). I am now trying to configure a new SuSE Linux/Apache2 web
server to talk to the existing Witango app servers. I was able to
get the Witango plugin for Apache2 installed, and it is currently
talking to the Witango servers, but I am running into a problem.
Every time I attempt to access a TAF file, I get the "application
file was either missing or invalid" error message (error number -3).
I know that it is hitting the Witango servers, because it is
displaying our custom error page. The path to the TAF files is the
same on the Apache2 server as it is on the IIS servers (relative to
the web root), and Apache serves HTML files in the same directories
without a problem.
File caching was enabled on the Witango servers, but the same problem
occurs when caching is disabled.
It did not appear to be a problem with DOS vs. Unix newlines, as I
have tried converting the files to no avail.
I have the mod_speling module loaded, so it does not appear to be a
problem with URL case.
I'm running out of ideas here... Has anyone run into this problem
before?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
