The problem |
The solution |
More details... |
|
GoServe doesn't want to remember that it's supposed to use
SRE-http. |
Assuming you start GoServe from the desktop (from an icon) ...
|
See the Installation section
of the SRE-http manual for further details.
|
I change an HTML document, but when I tell my browser to redisplay it,
nothing has changed. |
Assuming you haven't changed the wrong file, and that NetScape
isn't being stubborn, this can (rarely) happen when
SRE-http returns a cached version of the document.
You can append a /!FORCE/ before the URL and try again.
Or, you can resave the file (and thereby change it's date stamp) |
SSICACHE.HTM
contains an in-depth discussion of SRE-http's SSI caching algorithim.
|
I want to specify a set of default documents to use (on a directory
specific basis)
|
You can use the simple configurator to change the
default documents. Or, you can modify the AUTO_NAME variable
in INITFILT.80 |
The SRE-http manual discusses
the various default document options.
|
I can't get the hit counters to work |
Check the status of the HIT_OWNER_SUPPRESS and
HIT_CACHE_LEN parameters -- if they are enabled, SRE-http
may be doing you the favor of not augmenting the hit counter.
If you are using COUNTER.RXX, you might also want to check that you've
created the appropriate .CNT file.
|
For details on the HIT_OWNER_SUPPRESS and
HIT_CACHE_LEN variables, see
INITFILT.DOC. You might also want
to try the
hit-counter demo on the SRE-http home page. For those who
want to get down and dirty, the description
of COUNTER.RXX is recommended.
|
When I use URL-specific access controls, the client isn't given a change to
enter his username and password
|
The ACCESS_FAIL_FILE might be enabled. You can disable
it, or customize it.
|
The SRE-http manual, and the user's guide, discuss the use of
custom responses.
|
I can't get the ~ (home directory) to work |
Did you specify the HOME_DIR variable as a relative directory.
That is, it should not be a fully qualified directory.
|
Look in the SRE-http manual,
or the INITFILT.DOC file for
details on the HOME_DIR variable.
|
I'm having trouble with virtual directories
|
Remember, virtual directories are for directories, not for files. So,
when you specify a virtual directory, do not enter a file name.
|
The add virtual directories option of the simple mode configurator contains
a careful description of how to specify (and use) virtual directories.
|
The configurator colors are ugly |
On some monitors/video cards, the green colors used as configurator
backgrounds look terrible. It's easy to changes these default colors -- just invoke
/CONFIGUR.HTM and look for the link that allows you to change the colors.
|
File uploads are flakey |
You should examine your limits-settings (in the GoServe options window).
|
Do you have the latest version of GoServe
(ver 2.52) |
I'm running Object Rexx, and SRE-http doesn't work |
For several reasons, SRE-http ver 1.3a will not work under Object Rexx.
However, you can try a special version of 1.2g. |
Look in the "old stuff" section of the SRE-http home page for copies
of ver 1.2g. |
