[Techtalk] apache2 and directory listings with capitalized names of files

[Maria McKinley]

Thanks a bunch, that did the trick. Well, except I had to get rid of the 
+ sign, iow this was the line that worked

IndexOptions IgnoreCase

When I used the plus sign initially, it ignored the directive. Does 
anyone know how to know when you use a +, and when you don't? I'm 
wondering if this is one of the reasons I had problems getting apache to 
work the way I wanted it to when I was first setting things up.

thanks,
maria
