minimal Apache requirements for current Apache mirror

[Dmitry Morozovsky <ma...@rinet.ru>]

Hi there colleagues,

what are the requirements with the version and settings of Apache for
holding Apache mirror? I've got at least one error now: selecting docs
does not autoselect languageed index and lead me to ftp-like directory
index.

... also, link to Apache Server at the first page still pointing to
httpd.apache.org, not to the httpd.html in the local tree... :(

Thanks for the info. Also, I suppose it'll be very useful to mention the
settings needed at the "how-to-mirror" page.

Sincerely,
D.Marck                                   [DM5020, DM268-RIPE, DM3-RIPN]

thanks, I hope I do the trick via sed(1) or even ed(1) ;-)

well, are you running apache 1.3.X and i assume you have the content
negotiation stuff working ?  i have to admit, i'm not too sure - there
are only one or two sites for which this was an issue for me.

then i guess you want to stick with what i do.

#
/usr/bin/perl -pi -e 's/httpd.apache.org\//apache.planetmirror.com\/httpd.html/g' /ftp/pub/apache/index.html
/usr/bin/perl -pi -e 's/php.apache.org\//php.planetmirror.com\//g' /ftp/pub/apache/index.html

Oh I forgot to mention already installed options. They are:

Options +IncludesNoEXEC
<Directory /*/apache.org>
Options +Indexes
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

BTW, SSIs *are* working. What actually does not work is language
autoselection.

It's for sure not the work neither for Redirect nor for Rewrite -- as
client's browser send request to master server ;-)

you need to have SSI - server side includes.

you need to make sure you actually turn it on in that virtual server.

have a look at options and make sure you have IncludesNoExec

i currently use perl to rewrite this after a mirror.  i am thinking
of playing with either RedirectPermanent or actually using the rewrite
module to look for URLs like that and re-map them into my space.
