The following packages were installed with pkg: * virtualbox-ose-additions-nox11 * apache24 I created a shared folder and mounted it with mount_vboxvfs. The shared folder was set as the root of Apache's documents. >From FreeBSD, I could easily add and edit files that would be served by the= web server, Apache. However, from the host OS side (Windows), there was an issue. I could create new files and those would be served properly. But when I edited a file, it = did not update. A web browser displayed the old version. I noticed unusual beha= vior when trying to diagnose the issue. Using index.html as an example: * Editing from the guest OS worked and reloading the page in my browser sho= wed the changes * Editing from the host OS and reloading the page did *not* show the changes >From the guest OS, I tried: 1. cat index.html: This showed the changes but a page reload still did not = show them 2. vi index.html: I could see the changes. I did not make further changes a= nd quit without saving. Reloading the page showed the old version 3. nano index.html: Once again, I could see the new version. I closed witho= ut saving but this time, reloading the page *did* show the new version I repeated this several times. Loading the page with nano (but not making changes or re-saving) always resulted in the web page being updated the next time I hit refresh in the browser. "cat" and "vi" did not affect anything. So, there seems to be some problem. I suspect it has to do with the guest utilities because of the very strange behavior exhibited in the cat, vi, na= no tests.
