RE: http server--linking welcome page to other files

["Bleddyn Williams" <bleddyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Your problem here is with the pass statements. You really want a catch all
easiest way is to have

PASS     /*      /www/*

Now when you go to http://www.yourserver.com/ you will get the index page
then when you link anything from it the resulting map would take say
/html/page1.htm and make it /www/html/page1.htm. You do not need all the
hardcoding you have done your Welcome directive will find your welcome page
for you.

Does that make sense?

Thanks
Bleddyn

Subject: http server--linking welcome page to other files


We're playing around with the HTTP server in hopes of actually using it (not
just resume padding.)  So far we've managed to serve the welcome page and
execute several simple cgi programs.  Where we haven't had any success is
linking the welcome page with any other html files on the same 400--the link
to the IBM web site works fine.  Clicking on the links gives an error 403.
We can link the welcome page to cgi scripts.  There's something simple we're
missing.  If anyone knows the answer, you have my permission to prefix the
response with something condescending or insulting. <g>  Thanks in advance.

Here's a copy of the HTTP config file.
