Is savannah on the root of your webserver (for example, in /var/www) ?

For instance, I have in some place a webserver with /var/www as server
root. There, I have a savannah installation in /savannah-yp (for the
filesystem, It means /var/www/savannah-yp)

<Location /savannah-yp/users>
    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</Location>

<Location /savannah-yp/projects>
    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</Location>

Normally, it works.

The policy is quite simple:
        - add understable log message while you commit (it means,
unlike me :) )
        - making changes that are coherent with the rest of the work
done (using same kind of message, using sames functions)
        - insert lot of comments along with the modifications

It's surely better for us and you if you directly commit your changes
directly to the savannah tree.

We can add you to the developers list, if you want.


Cheers,
