Hi -- This may be an off-topic question, probably dealing more with Apache than Perl, sorry --
We moved a Mason intranet from Apache 1.x on XP to Apache 2.0 on Linux. Surprisingly easy move, and most everything worked right off. (Amazingly.) Some Mason code that redirected, however, stopped working: 
% # code snippet
% if ($action2 eq 'del-att') {
%     my $sth = Attribute->sql_kill;
%     $sth->execute($att);     
%     Attribute->dbi_commit;
%     $m->clear_buffer;
%     $m->redirect("/dimatt2.html?cl=$cl&em=$em");

On the new server, Apache issues a redirect message but doesn't redirect: 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>200 OK</title>
</head><body>
<h1>OK</h1>
<p>The document has moved <a href="dimatt2.html?cl=3&amp;em=1">here</a
+>.</p>
<hr />
</body></html>

We get the same results even if we explictly specify the status code (301 or 302) in the Mason redirect call.

We're guessing the server isn't configged right (virtual named server), vs. this being a Mason issue, as the code ran fine under AP 1.... would anyone have any suggestions as to what this might be? Google searching on the error phrase didn't yield any solns.

Thanks
