apache puzzler...

[Stephen Adler]

Guys,

This is a weird one. I finished building compiz 0.9.2.1 and I wanted to 
share my work with everyone. So I put a bunch of tar balls on my web 
site. So I created and area on my web server, made it so that people and 
see the area from the internet and put the tar ball files there and a 
text file name README.txt. The weird thing is this. The .tar.gz files 
show up, but not the README.txt file. I created a tarball with just the 
README.txt called README.tar.gz but it does not show it. Can you guys 
confirm this?

http://telacode.com/compiz

The directive gave the apache server is this....

[root at telacode conf.d]# more compiz.conf
alias /compiz /telacode/base/www/compiz
<Directory /telacode/base/www/compiz>
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
[root at telacode conf.d]#


and the listing of the directory is this....

[root at telacode conf.d]# ls -la /telacode/base/www/compiz/
total 68568

-rw-r--r--.  1 adler     adler       106 Dec 19 16:08 README.txt

so I'm clueless as to why the README.tar.gz and README.txt do show up. 
It's got to be caching issue! But I've tried flushing my cache to no 
avail....

Cheers. Steve.
