Hey all,
first time post, how you all doing. Good I hope!
I have a problem with an apache server I am running, some functionality that I had taken for granted does not seem to be present?
The servers I am used to working with are cobalt raq4's which run a modified version of red hat linux 6.2.
The new server is a plain redhat 7.3 baby.
Here goes:
The old server would accept page requests for www.xxxurlxxx.com/test.htm' in all of the following formats:
test
test/
test.htm
test.htm/
the new server will only accept
test.htm
test.htm/
Any ideas? I have been reading up on mod_rewrite that I have used extensively in the past along with content negotiation but cannot find a direct reference to this problem.
I want to be able to build urls in this fashion.
www.xxxurlxxx.com/test/text-here-references-no-page.htm
In the absence of a directory named test and a page named (see above) the test page is served. Test then explodes the url to get the final part, then explodes this to remove the - and .htm. This is then used to query a database to display the relavent info.
I would really apreciate any help or ideas people can offer.
Kind Regards
Marcus
