>Number:         248
>Category:       config
>Synopsis:       Several config file directives reported as "invalid command" on startup
>Confidential:   no
>Severity:       serious
>Priority:       medium
>Responsible:    apache (Apache HTTP Project)
>State:          open
>Class:          sw-bug

>Organization:
apache
>Release:        1.2b7
>Environment:
Linux 1.2.13 (Red Hat 2.1)
>Description:
I downloaded the 1.2b7 binary and made the appropriate edits to the new 
config files to match the previous environment (the pre-1.0 Apache included
in Red Hat 2.1).  Starting httpd failed repeatedly until I commented out 
a number of directives, including UserDir, Alias, ScriptAlias and 
LanguagePriority in srm.conf, and BrowserMatch in httpd.conf.  These are 
reported as syntax errors - "invalid command".  The server appears to work 
normally without these directives, except that Fancy Indexing returns the
generic "torn icon" for everything instead of the appropriate file type icon.
>How-To-Repeat:
This is currently an internal web server with no access from the Internet.
>Fix:

>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
