Apache questions....
 

ok, got my new install of apache running - great. not so great. if i create a subdirectory under the root directory, i get this here error : 'The connection was refused when attempting to contact 127.0.0.1' (Firefox 1.0, same in IE 6) when i try go directly to that directory (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/root_directory/subdirectory). but if i go ahead and go to the file i want to see (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/root_director...ory/index.html), works like a champ.

any and all help is appreciated!

later

edit: just discoverd that if i put the trailing '/' it also works (Debian box by the way). anyway to overcome this?

Apache is confusing argh

is opensource supposed to be hard to use?

If you are using Apache 1.3 or above, you'll need to use either a Location Match or Directory Match directive. Good luck!
