HTML displayed differently in Texis Ver. 5 than in Ver 4

Post by linda.a.kennedy »

I have 2 servers right now one running, Version 4.03.1063225259 of Sep 10, 2003 (i686-unknown-linux2.4.9-64-32). The other version is, Version 5.00.1086121238 20040601 (i686-unknown-linux2.4.9-64-32). The custom application is the same on both servers.

I have uploaded the same html file to both but the version 5 server is not displaying it correctly. It is displaying a box like bullet in place of places there are tabs or some double spaces.

What are the differences between the 2 versions of Texis and is it possible the problem is really the 2 different versions?

Any information or help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Linda

Spacing should display the same. Are you using apache or vhttpd? If apache are those the same version on both machines?
Are you talking about a plain html file being served up by vhttpd? Or html generated by a vortex script?
Are these public servers we can see? If so what are the urls of the differing pages?
If not can you show what's different here along with the corresponding source?

I am using Apache and they do have different versions installed. 1.3.37 display correctly and 2.2.3 does not. As for the the html file, it is generated through Word 2003 & 2007 and saved as html.

It is not a public server. The source used to display the file is the same on each server.

It sounds like the different versions of Texis aren't my problems? If you have any other thoughts or suggestions on this matter please let me know.

Thank you,
Linda

If texis isn't serving the html it can't be the problem.

Perhaps apache 2.2 is adding some charset or encoding headers that 1.3 doesn't. See what encoding your browser says it's using for each server.

See the raw server output with the geturl utility that comes with texis.

geturl http://server1/page.html >page1.html
geturl http://server2/page.html >page2.html

Then compare them, especially the headers at the top.

Thanks for your help. I'll look closer at Apache.
