@Michael ZHANG - The error is related to the loading problem. With the error description, browser should display full path of the problematic XSL file. Open new window and try to load XSL file descibed on error page. My guess is that XSL will be unreachable. Instead of absolute XSL path in XML document please try with relative path. You can find a lot of similar problems with sitemap.xml ...

Following your instructions, it worked in past days. I got error says "Error loading stylesheet: An unknown error has occurred (804b000e)". There is no information about thin in /var/log/httpd/error_log. I googled this, someone said it might be caused by server performance. Can you please help?

Thanks.

@Michael - PHP is server side technology and it can not be used in stylesheet.xsl. On the other hand, If you mean to dynamically create stylesheet.xsl with PHP (and force content-type to application/xml) - yes it could be possible. Few years ago I generated CSS file with PHP on the same way so it should be possible with XSL as well.

Thanks for this, it is very helpful. Can I ask if it is possible to use PHP in stylesheet.xsl?

Regards.

@dirch - I think you have to set absolute path to the HEADER.html file. Instead of:

HeaderName HEADER.html

try with:

HeaderName /files/HEADER.html

Hope this will solve problem and all subdirectories will be styled as root dir.

It's me who has to thank you!

My other "problem" looks like that http://mjhp.net/files/nostyle/. As you can see there is no style at all. Of course i could put my header and all that into every directory i create, but maybe there is another option to have the same style in the root directory and all subdirectories.

@dirch - Error was in stylesheet.xsl in "tr" template. Please look at the first xsl:copy-of line (responsible for the column with icons). Before todays update, line was looked like: and that was wrong. So, if you need icon and link, you should please replace "img" with "*" (as I updated stylesheet.xsl in this post) Or if you need only icon, then you can write "a/img". Thank you for pointing to the icon problem. Bye!

Thanks for your reply!

To be more precise, and maybe you find my mistake, here is the link to my files directory http://mjhp.net/files/ . As you can see there are no icons. In the source i saw that they are expected to be in /icons, so i've created that one and copied a set of icons there (of course they are readable by everyone).

My .htaccess looks like that:

Options +Indexes

IndexOptions FancyIndexing
IndexOptions XHTML
IndexOptions HTMLtable
IndexOptions SuppressHTMLPreamble
IndexOptions SuppressColumnSorting
IndexOptions FoldersFirst
IndexOptions IconsAreLinks
IndexOptions NameWidth=*
IndexOptions Type=text/xml

IndexIgnore ..
HeaderName HEADER.html

The other files (stylesheet an HEADER.html are copied from your site.

ah, the server is running FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE

Thanks!
