According to http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#include it's a shell wildcard, not a regex in the strict sense of the meaning. In particular, this makes a difference as to how the * is interpreted. The pair of brackets specifies a character class, and the ^ is negating it. And the * simply denotes "anything", as usual. So, it means "any file in /etc/apache2/conf.d/ not beginning with . or #". Cheers, Almut -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
