Hi,

I am running an apache 2.0 server on a Windows 2003 server. This problem arise when I tried to see a folder out of my docroot.

Here is what I did. I added an alias entry in the httpd.conf, and a directory entry to allow access and allow index display. It works fine when the number of files in the alias folder is less or equal to 6. However, when the number of files is greater than 6, I got a "Cannot find server or DNS Error Internet Explorer" from IE client. Any idea?

BTW, when the index listing succeeded, the error.log generate an entry of:

Negotiation: discovered file(s) matching request: E:/test/index.pl (None could be negotiated).

The access log generated:
"GET /test/ HTTP/1.1" 200 1258
plus some entries for accessing apache icons.

When the index list failed, the error.log generated the same entry, but the access.log generated an entry of:

"GET /test/ HTTP/1.1" 200 1373

Help please.

jpxu1,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

Are you using MultiViews for content-negotiation? If not, turn it off and see if that helps...

Thanks Jim, I took out multiviews from all my direct entries, it did not help. Still the same error.
