As I am finding out, Apache 2.4, as packaged and configured by default in
Debian, has only a "bare bones" configuration, with lots of commonly-used
stuff missing. See my other recent post about getting Apache to display
directories. It may be that as a side effect of fixing that problem,
I fixed this one too. But in any event, the Windows-style text file
needed to be converted to Linux format anyway.
