Problem resolving root media directory
After a server crash and rebuild, including a fresh install of ccp8 I seem to be having problems in accessing the files contained in the root/media directory. It seem to be the directory name of "media" as any other name does not cause a problem, even if I rename the call for the directory to "Media". So the following call thru WC3 CSS validator of:
Code:
http://www.slpdoghousemusic.com/media/skins/css/all.css
returns a "Bad request" response and thus does not get read. If I change the request to
Code:
http://www.slpdoghousemusic.com/Media/skins/css/all.css
it does read the all.css file, but the actual directory is named "media". While the site will not pull file information from the "root/media/" directory it is not calling any of the JS scripts, the base all.css information and no images for the site. Has anyone seen this problem before?

Re: Problem resolving root media directory
I'm assuming you've got a webserver rewrite rule (either local .htaccess, vhost-based, or server-wide httpd.conf) which is rewriting requests for /media to something else. Eliminate that rule, restart the webserver and you should be able to use that directory name.

Re: Problem resolving root media directory
I know it's not a local htacces as it was happening before I created one with the standard ccp8 entries hoping that might clear it up. The other strange part is I pointed a different url to the public root directory (wwwslpservone.com) as a test but the http:// (port 80) side will not pull form the "media" directory at all but the https:// (prot 443) side pulls the js scripts with out changing to the upper case of the directory (Media) but does not get the all.css files located in media/skins/css/. I will go looking into the httpd.conf file. Thnaks

Re: Problem resolving root media directory
http://www.slpdoghousemusic.com/media/skins/css/all.css comes up with a Mac OSX error '400: Unimplemented method'. Doing a Google search on that brings up similar issues with /media directories and OSX.

Seems like there is a rewrite in the config you're missing. Not much info on where.

Re: Problem resolving root media directory
Nick, you where correct, Mac OSX webserver has a "Web Services" tab which has selections for Wikis, Blogs, Calendar, Mail, configure-server-side-mail-rules and "change their password", it seems that any one of these will cause the problem of the media directory being redirected leaving the current web page with a "Bad Response" 400 error.
Funny all searches I did on the subject came up with ending a command with \r\n instead of \n which didn't make much sense to me either.
Thanks.

Re: Problem resolving root media directory
Glad to hear it's resolved. FYI, line endings on Macs, Windows and Unix are all different defaults. You're using a Mac webserver, so I'd assume the comments regarding line endings you were reading were regarding importing or editing configuration files and ensuring you were using proper line endings for the OS.
