httpd configuration, bug or intended behaviour?

Hi all,

Hopefully someone has come across this before. I'm using Apache
httpd-2.0.52-28.ent.centos4 on Centos 4.3. I'm using viewvc to allow
people to view our cvs and svn repositories, or at least trying to!

When accessing via viewvc any directory with CVS files (,v files) in
file i recieve:

Error: Rlog output ended early. Expected RCS file "<path to
file>/filename,v"

I thought ok maybe it's a problem with viewvc initially, but just to
make sure i tried to access the the same directories using just
apache's auto_index features. The CVS ,v files are not listed, when
anything else (other files and all directories) are listed.

I wasn't sure if this was caused by the ,v file name or the contents,
so i tried copying a ,v file to another name and the directory listing
worked correctly. I also tried copying the some files to names ending
with ,a ,b ,z to see if it was just the comma but they all get listed.

Something in this version of httpd appears to stop ,v files being read
correctly, does anyone know what? It's driving me mad!

Thanks
Nick

Just grepped a line for you from local Debian configuration of Apache 2.2.3
/etc/apache2# grep -Rin ',v' *
apache2.conf:325: IndexIgnore .??* *~ *# RCS CVS *,v *,t
.... listing the files you like most seems disabled by default config.

Thanks, that was it. Fresh eyes and all that, i'd moved on from the
config a while ago and not gone back to i must have just completely
overlooked that.
