  "No input file specified" mod_rewrite Problem

  I made several changes to some mod_rewrite rules which were working fine on my local Apache server.  I then published to a staging site hosted on GoDaddy for further testing. The rules which directed permalinks to a PHP program stopped working; “no input file specified” appeared on my browser instead. No access to [...]

  Canonical Web URLs using the Apache Rewrite Engine

  With current browsers and typical ISP web hosting account http server setups, surfers can view a web site by typing either www.example.com or example.com into their browser’s URL field. Prevailing wisdom in the SEO community is that web administors should convert all visits to one or the other. They suggest that if your site’s visitors [...]

  Web Hosting Notes, Requirements, Comparison

  I now have 3 different Apache hosting environments: my openSUSE 10.2 workstation, GoDaddy, and A2Hosting. Signing up for a month is the only way to determine if a web application will work on an ISP’s service. Their hosting environments are all slightly different. Here are the issues I’ve encountered getting a PHP web [...]

  Configuring Apache using YaST, openSUSE 10.2

  Configure Apache2 on openSUSE 10.2 with YaST instead of editing conf files. YaST is very efficient for initial Apache installation and for adding, enabling, and disabling server modules.

  Apache Configuration for SVN, WebDAV

  Here is my current Apache2 config file’s subsection for serving Subversion and WebDAV folders: default-server.conf (webdav fragment).
  Comments:

  I’m using AuthType Basic for svn, viewcvs, and filesystem DAV access. It provides some security, and is also necessary for WindowsXP, which apparently will not connect to a Web Folder with no authentication.
  The viewCVS location needs its [...]

  Windows XP and WebDAV

  Tried to connect to my SVN WebDAV folder from Windows XP, both from Add Network Place and using FrontPage. FrontPage worked first try and was able to download the repository. To upload, I need a dav_fs filesystem, not dav_svn.
  Add Network Place failed as described in a Caltech web page found with Google(Windows XP [...]

  SVN – Apache Authentication, ViewCVS

  Adding Basic Authentication
  As detailed on 14 Nov, the lack of httpd authentication prevents svn updates from getting an author assigned. So now I’m installing authentication per the Subversion instructions:

  htpasswd2 -cm /etc/apache2/basicHTTPpasswd bozzie
  Cut & pasted the Auth{Type,Name,User} directives from the instructions into the <Location> /svn section of my default-server.conf file. Cut & pasted the [...]

  CVS to Subversion Conversion

  One of the main advantages of Subversion (SVN) over CVS is provision for network access via WebDAV vs. the custom CVS server. That being the case, I decided to set up SVN with httpd access right from the start.
  Apache Modifications:

  Added mod_dav & mod_dav_syn using the SuSE Yast, Network Services, HTTPD screen. This [...]
