Re: [VuFind-General] RedHat and Apache

[Demian K. <dem...@vi...>]

On our RedHat installation, we have installed the latest version of Apache from source since our IT department is concerned about security risks inherent with earlier versions of Apache, and we get our support from them rather than from RedHat.

However, if you need to rely on RedHat's support, one possibility is simply to turn the B flags off -- without them, there is a slight possibility that you may end up with some malformed URLs if you have certain reserved characters in record IDs or module names, but in actual practice, this is unlikely to happen.  If you can get things to work with the B flag, that's definitely preferable for the sake of eliminating a possible source of weird glitches...  but if you have to live without it, you can probably get away with it.
