mason_example conffile is incorrect.

[Karl Hegbloom]

There needs to be a FilesMatch as shown below in order for Apache to find the index.html when you request the plain directory with no file name, as in:

 http://localhost/mason_example/

    <Directory /var/www/mason_example>
 <FilesMatch "(\.html|\.css)$">
            SetHandler perl-script
            PerlResponseHandler HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
            PerlSetVar MasonArgsMethod CGI
            # CGI was previously required for Mason to work in Apache2
 </FilesMatch>
    </Directory>

Karl, did you spoke with the responsible MOTU for this? Does dapper still showing this issue?

[Karl Hegbloom (karl.hegbloom)]

I do not know if the bug is still present; I have not heard from the MOTO, IIRC, and have not been toying with mason for several months (in college; schoolwork is higher priority).

[Alexandre Otto Strube (surak)]
