Re: [cpx] [CPX] - httpd.conf with windows EOL -> cpx munch the cpx.conf

[Jeff Carroll <jcarroll@xxxxxxxxx>]

Urchin 3  is a good example (1 of many programs that can have issues 
with text files containing ^M's)  of a unix program not written by Verio 
that will have issues with ^M in your httpd.conf.  Urchin install 
imports its configuration from httpd.conf - urchin can process 
/usr/local/apache/logs/domain.com_access.log  just fine but it wont know 
what  /usr/local/apache/logs/domain.com_access.log^M  is.

This is just one example - but it kind of gives you an idea of what 
"gotchas" you can run into with ^M - so it is best to avoid them all 
together.

Just some thoughts :)
