From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031016 Description of problem: Browsing to http://localhost/manual/mod/mod_python/ returns an Apache internal server error due to erroneous default configuration. Default httpd configuration for /var/www/manual puts a type-map handler for *.html files, allowing multiple language versions of the actual content. Mod python documentation however doesn't follow the same scheme and are instead normal .html files which break the type-map handler and cause error page to be displayed. This could fixed by providing the necessary type map files and renaming actual html pages, but this would be rather pointless since there aren't versions of these pages in languages other than english. Perhaps better fix is to just modify the configuration so type maps are not expected to be found in this subdirectory. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.0.3-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open location http://localhost/manual/mod/mod_python/ in any web browser. Actual Results: Apache internal server error page is displayed. Expected Results: Mod_python manual front page is shown. Additional info:
Created attachment 96249 [details] A simple patch to python.conf which solves the problem. Overrides the type-map handler with default one for files in directory /var/www/manual/mod/mod_python
