No, "I'm the Apache/2.0.52 (Fedora) Server at john.swartzentruber.us
Port 80" guy.

I've done this and don't see anything. I'm not positive I have the
original httpd.conf file to compare against, but I have one saved in a
backup directory that is named httpd.conf.rpmnew, so I think it is
either original or from an RPM update.

My differences are:

1. additional files in DirectoryIndex
2. HostnameLookups is On
3. the /server-status and /server-info sections are uncommented (but
only accessible from my internal network)
4. Added virtual hosting stuff

I looked at all instances of GET and POST, and only see a section that
is commented out in both copies of httpd.conf.


Here is my VirtualHost for the thing I am testing (I X'd out some stuff):

<VirtualHost 66.92.XXXX.XX:80 10.X.0.3:80>
ServerName john.swartzentruber.us
ServerAdmin webmasXXXXXXXtzentruber.us
DocumentRoot "/var/www/vhosts/swartzentruber.us/john/html"

<Directory "/var/www/vhosts/swartzentruber.us/john/html">
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Is there anything funny there that would cause a problem?
