IE and FF won't open index.html on port 8000

Hello,

I'm running Apache 2 on Fedora Core 2 and 3. Maybe it's not configured right because I keep getting error messages when I try to implicitly access index.html. I have set the listen port to 8000 to avoid conflicts with other HTTP servers on the network.

When I try to launch IE6 and FF2 using this line:

Code: 
[URL unfurl="true"]http://192.168.192.94:8000[/URL]

The browsers will not automatically open my index.html.

In IE I get this message:

File Download.
Do you want to save this file ?
Type: Unknown File type, <size of it>

In FF I get this message:

Opening
You have chosen to open
<blank line>
which is a: text/x-server-parsed-html
from
Here's the opening of my index.html file:

Code: 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.1//EN" "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">[/URL]
<html>
<head>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-5">
<title>TITLE</title> </head>

In IE, if I put this:

Code: 
[URL unfurl="true"]http://192.168.192.94:8000/index.html[/URL]

...into the URL line, the file opens fine. However, this same approach will not open the file in FF.

How can I code my index.html file so these browsers will automatically open it ? Or, is there anything I need to change in the setup of my Apache 2 HTTP server ?

Thank you.

Hi

NewtownGuy, is pointless to start the discussion from the same place you started in thread215-1394488.

We explained that the only involved is the browser configuration, so was enough to post your httpd.conf along with the question "how to modify this configuration to have .html files served on port 8000 with "text/html" content type in their HTTP header, instead of the current "text/x-server-parsed-html" ?".

Hi,

I'm confused. One person told me it's a server configuration problem not a browser problem and that I should post the problem here, which I did.

If it's a browser problem, how should IE6 and FF2 be configured to avoid it ?

If it's an Apache HTTP server problem, how should Apache be configured ? I'm using the default configuration except for changing the Listen port to 8000.

I would prefer to fix it at the server if possible so it would work for everyone, rather than having to tell each user to change their browser configuration.

Thank you.

Click to expand...
My apologies, I created confusion with that... that... can I call a whole word a typo ?

That sentence should be : "We explained that the only involved is the server configuration".

Hello,

There now seems to be agreement that it's a configuration problem with the Apache HTTP server. I've read over the docs on the Apache server, but I cannot figure out what needs to be changed.

Can someone tell me how to configure Apache so I don't get the error message I described above in IE and FF ?

Thank you.

Hi

The please post your httpd.conf part of my post was correct, that still stands. ;-) So please post your httpd.conf file.

Or if not, search for an [tt]AddType[/tt] directive which has tha "text/x-server-parsed-html" value. If found, comment it out by putting a sharp ( # ) character at the begin of that line.

Do not forget to restart your web server after modifying the httpd.conf file.

Hi,

TO: Feherke

I searched httpd.conf and I can't find an AddType directive with the text/x-server-parsed-html value. The closest reference that I can find is to server-parsed, and it has someting to do with images.

I've included httpd.conf as you requested. The only change I have made to it is to put the Listen port on 8000 instead of the default 80.

I don't know if this matters or not, but the HTTP server will be used on a dynamic IP address that is resolved separately, so I have not entered an IP address or name for the HTTP server. Certain users will use the HTTP server for embedded device control, so there's no need for the public to try to access this machine, which is another reason I put the Listen port to 8000.


Code: 
#
# Based upon the NCSA server configuration files originally by Rob McCool.
#
# This is the main Apache server configuration file.  It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:[URL unfurl="true"]http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/>[/URL] for detailed information about
# the directives.
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do.  They're here only as hints or reminders.  If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.  
#
# The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections:
#  1. Directives that control the operation of the Apache server process as a
#     whole (the 'global environment').
#  2. Directives that define the parameters of the 'main' or 'default' server,
#     which responds to requests that aren't handled by a virtual host.
#     These directives also provide default values for the settings
#     of all virtual hosts.
#  3. Settings for virtual hosts, which allow Web requests to be sent to
#     different IP addresses or hostnames and have them handled by the
#     same Apache server process.
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path.  If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "logs/foo.log"
# with ServerRoot set to "/etc/httpd" will be interpreted by the
# server as "/etc/httpd/logs/foo.log".
#

### Section 1: Global Environment
#
# The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache,
# such as the number of concurrent requests it can handle or where it
# can find its configuration files.
#

#
# Don't give away too much information about all the subcomponents
# we are running.  Comment out this line if you don't mind remote sites
# finding out what major optional modules you are running

#
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# NOTE!  If you intend to place this on an NFS (or otherwise network)
# mounted filesystem then please read the LockFile documentation
# (available at <URL:[URL unfurl="true"]http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#lockfile>);[/URL]
# you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
#
# Do NOT add a slash at the end of the directory path.
#
ServerRoot "/etc/httpd"

#
# ScoreBoardFile: File used to store internal server process information.
# If unspecified (the default), the scoreboard will be stored in an
# anonymous shared memory segment, and will be unavailable to third-party
# applications.
# If specified, ensure that no two invocations of Apache share the same
# scoreboard file. The scoreboard file MUST BE STORED ON A LOCAL DISK.
#
#ScoreBoardFile run/httpd.scoreboard

#
# PidFile: The file in which the server should record its process
# identification number when it starts.
#
PidFile run/httpd.pid

#
# Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out.
#
Timeout 300

#
# KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than
# one request per connection). Set to "Off" to deactivate.
#
KeepAlive Off

#
# MaxKeepAliveRequests: The maximum number of requests to allow
# during a persistent connection. Set to 0 to allow an unlimited amount.
# We recommend you leave this number high, for maximum performance.

### Section 2: 'Main' server configuration
#
# The directives in this section set up the values used by the 'main'
# server, which responds to any requests that aren't handled by a
# <VirtualHost> definition.  These values also provide defaults for
# any <VirtualHost> containers you may define later in the file.

# All of these directives may appear inside <VirtualHost> containers,
# in which case these default settings will be overridden for the
# virtual host being defined.

# httpd as root initially and it will switch.  
#
# User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.
#  . On SCO (ODT 3) use "User nouser" and "Group nogroup".
#  . On HPUX you may not be able to use shared memory as nobody, and the
#    suggested workaround is to create a user [URL unfurl="true"]www and[/URL] use that user.
#  NOTE that some kernels refuse to setgid(Group) or semctl(IPC_SET)

# DefaultLanguage and AddLanguage allows you to specify the language of 
# a document. You can then use content negotiation to give a browser a 
# file in a language the user can understand.
#
# Specify a default language. This means that all data
# going out without a specific language tag (see below) will 
# be marked with this one. You probably do NOT want to set
# this unless you are sure it is correct for all cases.
#
# * It is generally better to not mark a page as 
# * being a certain language than marking it with the wrong
# * language!

# DefaultLanguage nl
#
# Note 1: The suffix does not have to be the same as the language
# keyword --- those with documents in Polish (whose net-standard
# language code is pl) may wish to use "AddLanguage pl .po" to
# avoid the ambiguity with the common suffix for perl scripts.
#
# Note 2: The example entries below illustrate that in some cases 
# the two character 'Language' abbreviation is not identical to 
# the two character 'Country' code for its country,
# E.g. 'Danmark/dk' versus 'Danish/da'.
#
# Note 3: In the case of 'ltz' we violate the RFC by using a three char
# specifier. There is 'work in progress' to fix this and get

# AddType allows you to add to or override the MIME configuration

#
#AddType application/x-tar .tgz

#
# AddEncoding allows you to have certain browsers uncompress

# Despite the name similarity, the following Add* directives have nothing
# to do with the FancyIndexing customization directives above.
#
#AddEncoding x-compress .Z
#AddEncoding x-gzip .gz .tgz

# If the AddEncoding directives above are commented-out, then you

#
# AddHandler allows you to map certain file extensions to "handlers":
# actions unrelated to filetype. These can be either built into the server
# or added with the Action directive (see below)
#
# To use CGI scripts outside of ScriptAliased directories:
# (You will also need to add "ExecCGI" to the "Options" directive.)
#
#AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

#
# For files that include their own HTTP headers:
#
#AddHandler send-as-is asis

#
# For server-parsed imagemap files:
#
AddHandler imap-file map

#
# For type maps (negotiated resources):
# (This is enabled by default to allow the Apache "It Worked" page
#  to be distributed in multiple languages.)
#
AddHandler type-map var

#
# Filters allow you to process content before it is sent to the client.
#
# To parse .shtml files for server-side includes (SSI):
# (You will also need to add "Includes" to the "Options" directive.)
#
AddType text/html .shtml
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml

#
# Action lets you define media types that will execute a script whenever
# a matching file is called. This eliminates the need for repeated URL
# pathnames for oft-used CGI file processors.
# Format: Action media/type /cgi-script/location
# Format: Action handler-name /cgi-script/location

#
# Customizable error responses come in three flavors:
# 1) plain text 2) local redirects 3) external redirects
#
# Some examples:
#ErrorDocument 500 "The server made a boo boo."
#ErrorDocument 404 /missing.html
#ErrorDocument 404 "/cgi-bin/missing_handler.pl"
#ErrorDocument 402 [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.example.com/subscription_info.html[/URL]
#

#
# Putting this all together, we can internationalize error responses.
#
# We use Alias to redirect any /error/HTTP_<error>.html.var response to
# our collection of by-error message multi-language collections.  We use 
# includes to substitute the appropriate text.
#
# You can modify the messages' appearance without changing any of the
# default HTTP_<error>.html.var files by adding the line:
#
#   Alias /error/include/ "/your/include/path/"
#
# which allows you to create your own set of files by starting with the
# /var/[URL unfurl="true"]www/error/include/[/URL] files and
# copying them to /your/include/path/, even on a per-VirtualHost basis.

### Section 3: Virtual Hosts
#
# VirtualHost: If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at 
# <URL:[URL unfurl="true"]http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/>[/URL]
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
#NameVirtualHost *:80
#
# NOTE: NameVirtualHost cannot be used without a port specifier 
# (e.g. :80) if mod_ssl is being used, due to the nature of the
# SSL protocol.
#

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
#<VirtualHost *:80>
#    ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
#    DocumentRoot /[URL unfurl="true"]www/docs/dummy-host.example.com[/URL]
#    ServerName dummy-host.example.com
#    ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
#    CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
#</VirtualHost>

Thank you.

Hi

you httpd.conf said:
[tt]Include conf.d/*.conf[/tt]
Click to expand...
I hate such practices. Probably there is more configuration in that conf.d/ directory.

Look in that directory too. If you can not find it, you will have to post more configurations.

But while the server is on Linux, cut the comments out. If you run the following command, it will copy the lines which not starts with # from all *.conf files into the /tmp/clear.conf file. Will be enough to post that one.
Code: 
sed '/^#/d' /etc/httpd/conf.d/*.conf > /tmp/clear.conf

TO: Feherke,

The good news is that there's only one, tiny, included conf file, so I've included it in its entirety. The bad news is that I don't see any reference to the server-parsed line we're trying to find. Where could it be coming from ? Would your connecting to my web page help find the problem ?

Here's /etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf:

Code: 
# 
# This configuration file enables the default "Welcome"
# page if there is no default index page present for
# the root URL.  To disable the Welcome page, comment
# out all the lines below.
#
<LocationMatch "^/+$">
    Options -Indexes
    ErrorDocument 403 /error/noindex.html
</LocationMatch>

Unless they're hidden, it's the only *.conf file in the folder. The only other file in the folder is README:

Code: 
This directory holds Apache 2.0 module-specific configuration files;
any files in this directory which have the ".conf" extension will be
processed as Apache configuration files.

I FIXED IT !!! :)

The problem was in a .htaccess file that I had installed from when I was playing with server side includes before switching to perl. The .htaccess file, which is a hidden file so I had forgotten about it, had the following lines in it:

Code: 
Options +Includes
AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .html

I removed .htaccess, I removed a <name>.shtml file, I rebooted the HTTP server, and I cleared the cache in Firefox, and now IE6 and FF2 both display my index.html file just fine.

Yup just the other day I was saying to the mrs. "I wonder if the kid has something funky in his .htaccess". ;-)
