Thanks. This helps a bit. But I still don't quite understand the meaning of "be applied" and "be evaluated" in this section. Does this refer to the merging, so that late-comers override earlier directives? Or does it apply to matching an incoming request, where the first match gets to handle the request? The examples given in this document seem to imply the first version is true.
But mod_dir checks, if it is a regular file. What about creating the file as a dummy?You mean an index.html as redirector?No, just the filename you gave in DirctoryIndex. It won't be served due to your Handler setting but acts as a dummy for the requirement of mod_dir (existing file).
That's surprising. I would have expected the dummy file to be served. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dir.html#directoryindex Given that an existing file has been found, why not serve it up straight away? Why continue looking for a handler when the file is found on disk, and *not* look for a handler when no file is found? Maybe that's just me, but I find this behaviour a little counter-intuitive. But hey, if it works.
But the way via DirctoryIndex and mod_dir causes a subrequest lookup for the index file, which you can avoid with the RewriteRule of course.
I see the advantage. Thank you! Michael Ludwig --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
