Extensions with commas not showing up in Web Directory

Harlin · 11-22-2006, 08:20 AM

I am running Apache 2.2 in Suse 10 Enterprise. Inside one of the web directories we have the following files:

.test1,v test2.emx,v test3.emx,v

None of these show up in the directory when an http request is made. However if I put a file in there called 'test.html', this file shows up in a web browser. Anyone know why these files might not show up within Apache?

Thanks

typically, commas are used to separate items in lists in apache. i.e.
it is looking for a filenamed test2.emv and then a file named v you may need to change the filenames
However, if all of the filenames are like the first one you typed in .test1,v
Notice the period, it could be because they are "hidden files"... see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_autoindex.html

Those look like CVS files. Are you able to use something like ViewCVS (now called ViewCV) from http://www.viewvc.org/ instead of browsing the raw repository files? That will give you a web based front end to your source code repository.
