Reopen if you can imagine why I resolved it as invalid. Because I didn't make it horridly clear what I was talking about? Oops. Apache. The ideal case would be: Options None However, eaven upstream config contains ugly syntax styles like the one you reported. FYI, they're (upstream) currently working on a config file layout redesign. Finally, this is no major bug, its just face lifting. Just for the record, this is a lot more than just facelifting. The Options directive is fragile, and when not treated exactly as documented, it tends to behave unexpectedly. Mixing +/- syntax with bareword syntax is one example. Using -All -Multiviews is another one. Using "Options None" will stand you in good stead later on when the Options directive is fixed to actually work consistently as documented. While I don't know exactly when this will happen, one certainly hopes that it is soon. Getting correct syntax into your config file now will ensure that installations don't break when that happens. Given that it's such a simple fix: Replace "-All -Multiviews" with "None", it seems that there's really no valid reason for not doing so. Rich Bowen (rbowen@apache.org) There is no 'Options -All -Multiviews' in the current httpd.conf (http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/apache/dist/2.0/conf/httpd.conf?root=gentoo-src&rev=1.6&view=markup) |
