[Xitami] POST troubles (longish)

[Boyan Brezinsky]

Here is the story. Yesterday downloaded dcl - a project tracking system 
written in PHP. At startup you have to login, supplying username and 
password.
But as long as I click the Login button on the startup screen, I get a 404 
error.
The Xitami access log looks like this:
127.0.0.1 - - [12/Jul/2001:17:06:14 +0200] "POST /login.php3 HTTP/1.1" 404 
97 "http://localhost/index.php3" ""

As you can see, the index.php3 is the main file with the login screen, 
which posts the username and the password to login.php3. login.php3 is 
there, I checked that, even checked the case.

The most curious thing is that a similar system, Keystone, written in PHP 
as well, works just fine:
127.0.0.1 - - [12/Jul/2001:17:39:59 +0200] "POST /keystone/nbrowse.php3 
HTTP/1.1" 200 13095 "http://localhost/keystone/index.php3" ""
The only difference between Keystone and dcl that I can see is that 
Keystone, unlike dcl, doesn't use JavaScript. Otherwise both use <form 
method="post" action="[filename].php3"> </form>

By the way, I just changed the filename from login.php3 to the_login.php3 - 
changed it both in the template for the page and on disk, of course. The 
result is:
127.0.0.1 - - [13/Jul/2001:13:41:28 +0200] "POST /the_login.php3 HTTP/1.1" 
404 97 "http://localhost/index.php3" ""

System: Windows 2000 Pro (no SP), Xitami 2.4d9 service, PHP 4.0.4, IE 5.0

Some more logs comparison.

I really don't see any differences. So how come one POST works, the other 
one can't find the file?


Any help is greatly appreciated
Thank you,
