i tried using apache_1.1.1-2 and 3 from the Incoming directory and we started having problems viewing gzipped postscript files with both netscape and mosaic. i don't know if this is a bug in the apache server itself or just in the debian distribution. also /usr/lib/apache/modules/mod_proxy.so doesn't want to load in apache-1.1.1-3. unfortunately i don't really have a lot of time to look into this (trying to graduate, i guess), so i just went back to 1.0.5. if anybody would care to investigate this further i would appreciate it. thanks.
Are you sure the mod_proxy does not want to load, or is it simply unusable because of bad permissions under /var/spool/apache (which will be fixed once I change the scripts to make the server run under www-data.www-data). Actually apache runs nobody, group -1, so the directory should have 777 (or 1777) permissions... Do you have a TypesConfig line in your configuration file? If so, it should certainly be removed or made to point to /etc/mime.types. Please tell me. Yves.
