Hi, Both ReadmeName and HeaderName somehow don't work in my Apache. Nothing is appended to any directory listing while README and HEADER exist in the relevant directory and are readable to all users. I have Apache 1.3.9, Apache-SSL 1.3.9 (both Debian packages) and Apache 1.3.12 (compiled myself). My Debian version is 2.2 and my kernel is 2.2.16. It's not really important, but it sure is irritating. As far as I'm concerned my Apache configuration is okay: it says
ReadmeName README HeaderName HEADER in srm.conf (in 1.3.9), and in httpd.conf (in 1.3.12) Both directives are used only once in my (general) server config, not in any virtual host, directory or .htaccess context. The files README and HEADER have the right permissions and UID/GID, since I can view the content via the browser when I enter the URI (e.g. http://www.mysite/somedir/README) manually. The required module for these directives (autoindex_module) is loaded -- of course, otherwise the apachectl wouldn't start apache in the first place, due to a broken configuration. I do know Apache has changed somewhat regarding the handling of the ReadmeName and HeaderName directives after version 1.3.6, but I don't want to downgrade to 1.3.6 to try it out... although I could try it on my old 486 box, which I have to seek somewhere in the "well-organized" storage room, though :) Anyways, it really puzzles me. Regards, Amir
