[users@httpd] Files invisible to Apache?
I just set up a directory on an existing website and copied some files
into it. While the first file was copying, I looked at the directory
with a browser, and it showed the first file. After all of the other
files are done copying, though, it still only shows that first file...
I've shift-refreshed, used different browsers, etc. Permissions on the
files are exactly the same, 644 Why on Earth would the web server
(2.0.49, BTW) "remember" the first file and refuse to recognize the
others?
Oh, and if I put the full path
http://web.server/directory/name-of-invisible-file in the browser, I can
download the file in question. But it still doesn't show up in the
directory list in the browser. There are no errors in the error_log.

Favicon.ico is the cute little icon that displays next to the URL in the address bar (and, if you bookmark the site or add it to your favorites, in the favorites folder - hince the name) for sites that have such an icon. Usually it is a logo or something similar having to do with the site.

Ah-hah! I installed the RPMs for 2.0.51 and now the other, smaller file
shows up. OK, at least I know why, now... :-)
Thanks.

Sorry, but I'll have to reemphasize the upgrade issue. I have a vague
recollection of some fix regarding large files and mod_autoindex.
This could very well be a file-size issue. (You probably won't have
luck with files greater than 2GB in anything less than httpd-2.1.)
favicon is a file that browsers use to give a site-specific icon in
the bookmarks and url-bar.

Are you sure the requests are actually hitting the server, and not a
cache (ie, does the access log show the requests with a 200 status)?
Do the files in question match any IndexIgnore directives?
