Synopsis: initial default page returns index.html.zh.Big5

State-Changed-From-To: open-closed
State-Changed-By: stoddard
State-Changed-When: Tue Oct  2 13:07:46 PDT 2001
State-Changed-Why:
Will be fixed in the next release. Bill Rowe shot the bug and Bill Stoddard ported the fix from 2.0 to 1.3. For future reference, I am adding the significant text of an email exchange between B. Rowe and the bug db author:

>>>> Size is part of the negotation, the very _LAST_ part. >>>> Is your Big5 file actually smaller than the others?
>>>
>>> Yes it is.
>>> I will test by making it much longer:
>>> ...testing...
>>> Ah, you got it.  Adding much content to 
>>> index.html.zh.Big5 resulted in .en being served.
>>>
>>> I will now restore it to "short" and test your other
>>> points.
>>>
>>>
>>>> Also, do you have the .en, .se, .tw definitions at the
>>>> _top_level_?
>>>
>>> Don't know precisely what you mean by "top level," but
>>> as per defaults:
>>> .en, .se, and .tw AddLanguage directives are
>>> directly "beneath"
>>> <IfModule mod_mime.c>
>>>
>>>> is this line in your conf?
>>>>
>>>> AddCharset Big5        .Big5       .big5
>>>
>>> Yes.
>>>
>>> Commenting out AddLanguage for tw and zh-tw (and
>>> restarting apache) makes no
>>> difference
>>> Likewise commenting out AddCharset Big .Big5 .big5
>>> makes no difference.
>>>
>>>
>>>> AddLanguage tw .tw
>>>
>>> In there, commenting it out makes no difference
>>>
>>>> Just checking.
>>>
>>> So, why does size matter...? ;^)
>>>
>>> Note that the second-shortest index.html file
>>> is .kr.iso-kr, third-shortest
>>> is .en.
>>> I also notice that the file is .zh.Big5 not .tw.Big5
>>> (and that appeared to be a late change in the source
>>> upgrade notes I saw on Deja) and there is NO
>>> appearance of ".zh" in httpd.conf at all.
>>>
>>> Ah, there you go!  This fixes the problem:
>>> mv index.html.zh.big5 index.html.tw.big5
>>>
>>> So, the combination of being a short file, and NOT
>>> being represented in the AddLanguage list seems to be
>>> the issue.
>>>
>>> Compare your installation on those points: file 
>>> named .zh.Big5 (not .tw) and no .zh in httpd.conf.
>>>
>>> Again, that's the default configuration...!
