Checked and double checked this.  Before I copied the mod_interchange.so
file into the libexec directory I removed the 1.29 version.

Actually, mod_interchange works as advertised when I don't use the
OrdinaryFileLis directive!  So basically, the answer to this q is no error
when OrdinaryFileList is removed.

Check, check.

NameVirtualHost xx.xx.xx.xx:80
<VirtualHost xx.xx.xx.xx:80>
DocumentRoot "/usr/local/apache/htdocs"
ServerName www.mydomain.com

<Location /mystore>
SetHandler interchange-handler
InterchangeServer  /opt/interchange/etc/socket
DropRequestList /default.ida /x.ida /cmd.exe /root.exe
OrdinaryFileList  /robots.txt /interchange/
</Location>

</VirtualHost>

This is the config that doesn't work.  Commenting out the
OrdinaryFileList will work and one can then access my store with www.mydomain.com/mystore/
(obviously once I get OrdinaryFileList working I will change <Location
/mystore> to <Location />

With accomplishments like mine who needs failures??

Thanks,
