I'm trying to setup web2py on my Fedora server, and the instructions, written for Debian, are telling me to install it in the /users/www-data directory.

Reuse and add to 500 error to get better stats from soap

Hi We deliver a huge amount of data based on soap requests. Whenever a request fails, soap specifies a 500 error must be returned with a response object telling about the error.

Can mod_rewrite do math?

I am planning to convert my website to a new CMS, but I would like to use mod_rewrite to seamlessly redirect old links to their new locations.

I've done everything right. My server has mod_rewrite enabled, my virtualhost path has AllowOverride set to All, and I have the .htaccess file in place with the rewrite rules same as everyone.

mod_rewrite: no access to real files and directories

Hello. I use mod_rewrite/.htaccess for pretty URLs. I forward all the requests to my index.php, like this: RewriteRule ^/?([a-zA-Z0-9/-]+)/?$ /index.php [NC,L] The index.php then handles the requests.

Hello. I use mod_rewrite/.htaccess for pretty URLs. I'm using this condition/rule to eliminate trailing slashes (or rather: rewrite to the non-trailing-slash-URL, by a 301 redirect; I'm doing this to avoid duplicate content and because I like URLs with no trailing slashes better): RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{RE...

Will PHP script running on top of Apache be faster than C# stand alone program doing same thing (same counting algorithm)?

I mean PHP scripts on Apache are oriented for many users to use tham at the same time. So will 1000 requests which came at the (relatively) same time be fully processed faster than C# .Net program performing algorithm 1000 times in while loop? So we input same data, we perform same algorithm, which is written in the very same way (resp...
