I have Tomcat 5.5.27 running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.6.9.-87 I have a webapp which seems to work fine for servlets that I have deployed.
I have a kind of Application Admin Console which I am developing and from one of my plain html pages I want users to be able to click on a link which will then display a directory full of logfiles from which they should be able to click on any file to view the contents. I have an href tag in my page as follows : /raceweb/_links/appserverlogs/YieldCurveServer/ older YieldCurveServer logfiles Instead of showing a dir listing I get a 404 error "The requested resource ( /raceweb/_links/appserverlogs/YieldCurveServer/) is not available. The "appserverlogs" in the url is actually a link to a directory elsewhere on the host. I can cd to the raceweb dir under webapps and ls _links/appserverlogs/YieldCurveServer/* shows me a list of logfiles so it's not a permission problem and the link is working. If I get rid of the links and put some test files in the _links dir I correctly get a dir listing and can click on and read them. Why would the links be a problem ? I can see it could be a security issue perhaps but why is it happening and is there a way to supress the problem ? I have worked at a site where links like that worked but it was Solaris rather than Linux and an older version of Tomcat and not installed or maintained by me. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Why-404-instead-of-dir-list---tp25037626p25037626.html Sent from the Tomcat - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
