[users@httpd] PNG / Apache question...
Hi...
Curious.. I have a graphics file. It's in the PNG format. How do I serve the
file using Apache such that it is displayed properly using a netscape/ie
browser.....
Out of curiousity, I tried to simply "look" at the file using a regular
browser... it didn't work!!
With a regular .bmp/gif there's no issue. Is there some attribute within the
Apache Server that does an on the fly convert....
Any help/assistance would be helpful!!
thanks

Subject: [users@httpd] Apache 2.0.43 vs CGI
Hello,
We have upgraded Apache from 1.3 to 2.0.43 and now experience such a
problem: when submitting parameters via / (for example,
http://www.mydomain.com/?asd=dsa) we have 403 error and error_log says
"Attempt to invoke directory as script". Please, advise.
Exerpt from httpd.conf:
...
<VirtualHost www.mydomain.com:80>
ServerAdmin hostmaster@www.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /home/www/www.mydomain.com/htdocs
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/www/www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/
ServerName www.mydomain.com
Alias /images/ /home/www/www.mydomain.com/images/
Alias /pictures/ /home/www/www.mydomain.com/upload/
Alias /errors/ /home/www/www.mydomain.com/errors/
Alias /catalog/ /home/www/www.mydomain.com/catalog/
ErrorLog /home/www/www.mydomain.com/logs/error_log
CustomLog /home/www/www.mydomain.com/logs/access_log combined
ScriptLog /home/www/www.mydomain.com/logs/script_log
ErrorDocument 403 /errors/403.html
ErrorDocument 404 /errors/404.html
ErrorDocument 500 /errors/500.html
</VirtualHost>
<Directory /home/www/www.mydomain.com/htdocs>
Options ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
SetHandler cgi-script
DirectoryIndex index.cgi
</Directory>
...
Thank you very much in advance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hmm, weird, I've had no problems with the default install settings in both
1.3 and 2.0.
Try this:
telnet yoursite 80
HEAD /images/yourpng.png HTTP/1.0
[enter][enter]
You should see something like:
[jcoby@theserver]$ telnet theserver 80
Trying 123.123.123.123...
Connected to theserver.
Escape character is '^]'.

Can't say I've ever had a problem serving PNGs without resorting to changing
the default config though, what version of Apache are you running?
