[Chameleon] Configuring Apache 2

[Paul Spencer]

Quick note, there is a gotcha with apache:

if you include a trailing / in the alias, then you must include the 
trailing / in the directory.  And you must add the trailing / when 
entering the URL.  For instance, http://localhost/cwc2 will not work if 
you include the trailing slash in the alias.

I am not sure what happens if you do not include the trailing slash in 
the alias but DO include it in the directory (as indicated below) ... I 
would expect that it would work :)

Jacob, why did you add a directory for c:/cwc2/data?  Is there something 
in this directory that needs to be web-accessible?  If there is then it 
is a bug because only the htdocs (and htdocs_admin) should *have* to be 
web-accessible.

Cheers,

Paul
