Random question: Got Apache?

[Platypus]

Anyone running an apache server? I got a simple question, how come my files are not alphabatizing when I upload them? How can I make that hapen?

 

[notfred]

opendir(DIR, "/var/www/httpd/htdocs/");
@contents = readdir(DIR);
closedir(DIR);
@sorted = sort(@contents);

foreach $file(@sorted){
print "$file\n";
}




Is apache running on your server, did you set it up yourself? That's kind of an unusual problem.

 

[Platypus]

Yeah, I set it up myself, but im FTPing a whole bunch of songs from one computer to my server computer
and they are not coming in any order...

 

[notfred]

Where are they out of order, in the FTP client, in the apache directory listing on the website? Are they in order if you do a ls in the directory you're uploading to? Link to the site?

 

[Platypus]

Im not going to link yet, because I dont want people downloading and disturbing my upload. The thing is, they were all in order in the directory, but it looks like this in the server screen...

a
b
c
d
*e...
*...z

Then its like it thinks there is another half and it goes
a
b
c
d
*e...
*...z

Its like there are a lot of files, but half way through after the lazt Z it starts over with A, and they are all different files. Like it just split all the files in half, into two A-Z lists. Its hard to describe I hope that helped.

Isn't Apache a type of helicopter?

PM me the link? I think I need to see it...

 

[Platypus]

Ok, YGPM.

Also, the folders do not go into order either...

 

[notfred]

if you didn't notice, your webserver is listing capitalized files before lowercase ones. This is bacuase it's sorting files based on the ASCII values of thier characters, rather than strctly alphabetically. Apache (on unix) has never lsited directories bofore files, it mixes them in, in order.

ascii table.

I'm going to PM you something you might find useful, does your server support Perl?

 

[Platypus]

Damn I am stupid, thanks for letting me know that, yes I do support perl.

hold on, gotta install a perl module real quick, the server that I was gonna show you is down

coudl you pm me the code while you're at it?

 

[notfred]

OK, corporate Recreation - You'll want to see this. Sorry it took so long, but I had to convert a script that was originally written for windows to be used on my linux box

Check your PM

 

[notfred]

dammit, I got it working, you at least have to reply

 

[Platypus]

Thanks, I got it, and I changed them all myself, because I thought you forgot about me
Ill keep it in my records though, thanks for taking the time to help me out.

 

[notfred]

did you look at the page I sent? the script sorts without case sensitivity, and also will tell you the length, bitrate, and fileszie of MP3s

also, it looks better than the default directory listing

 

[Platypus]

Can you just PM me the code? Ive never really used perl that much and I am kind of a newbie with apache too.

 

[notfred]

got ICQ or AIM? if not, I'll just PM you. I'll help you set it up though
