Meta tag configuration for the Apache 1.3.12(RedHat 7.0)

[Guest_imported]

Hi all,

I wanted to configure the Apache Server (1.3.12) for my RedHat Linux 7.0, but ran into a configuration problem. I wanted to append a 'Header' tag to any .html file being accessed from the default directory (/var/

http://www/html).

Here are the steps that I've performed.
1. Uncommented from the 'modules' section: mod_cern_meta
2. Uncommented the following directives in the httpd.conf file:
MetaFiles yes
MetaDir .web
MetaSuffix .meta
3. Created a .web directory in /var/

http://www/html

4. Then created the index.html.meta file containing the header tag in .web directory.
After restarting the httpd, the index.html is still not showing the title of the document in the Title bar of the of the Netscape Navigator. Where exactly I'm making the mistake I wanted to know.

I will highly appreciate if someone could rectify me. Thanking you.

Hi mate,

I think you are misunderstanding the use of this module.

The module is used to send additional headers to the browser, not to specify the title tag for the pages.

Uses for this module are Expiration of documents etc..

Hope this helps Wullie
