  • What are "regular expressions"?

    - Regular expressions are a way of describing a pattern - for example, "all the words - that begin with the letter A" or "every 10-digit phone number" or even "Every sentence - with two commas in it, and no capital letter Q". Regular expressions (aka "regexp"s) - are useful in Apache because they let you apply certain attributes against collections - of files or resources in very flexible ways - for example, all .gif and .jpg files under + Regular expressions are a way of describing a pattern - for example, "all + the words that begin with the letter A" or "every 10-digit phone number" + or even "Every sentence with two commas in it, and no capital letter Q". + Regular expressions (aka "regexp"s) are useful in Apache because they + let you apply certain attributes against collections of files or resources + in very flexible ways - for example, all .gif and .jpg files under any "images" directory could be written as /.*\/images\/.*[jpg|gif]/.

    GCC parses your system header files and produces a modified subset which it uses for compiling. This behaviour ties GCC tightly to the version of your operating system. So, for example, if you were running IRIX 5.3 when you built GCC and then upgrade to IRIX 6.2 later, you will have to rebuild GCC. Similarly for Solaris 2.4, 2.5, or 2.5.1 when you upgrade to 2.6. Sometimes you can type "gcc -v" and it will tell you the version of the operating system it was built against. -

  • + My .htaccess files are being ignored. +

    + This is almost always due to your + AllowOverride directive being set incorrectly for the directory in + question. If it is set to None then .htaccess files will + not even be looked for. If you do have one that is set, then be certain + it covers the directory you are trying to use the .htaccess file in. + This is normally accomplished by ensuring it is inside the proper + Directory container. +
