AW: [EMAIL PROTECTED] htaccess ANY HELP PLEASE ?
First off, it's not regarded as nice netiquette to repost to a mailing list after only 5 hours. After a week, maybe... but after 5 hours implies you think the rest of us exist merely to serve you :-) I didn't realize that posting my message twice causes such a big problem for you. Turning to your problem... we have in the htaccess file a treatment for errors: ErrorDocument 403 http://www.ourdomain.com ErrorDocument 404 http://www.ourdomain.com ErrorDocument 500 http://www.ourdomain.com this is for redirecting any user to the mainpage, when he is searching a file which does not exist. this works with all files, also without extension. but when the user inserts for example http://www.ourdomain.com/index.php the browser jumps into an error message 404 file not found. he doesn't redirect the user to the mainpage like always. Essential info when posting: - Apache version 1.3 unix on server - OS - error_log entry - access_log entry Otherwise, we're just guessing... Additional info: - do you actually have PHP installed? no - is it configured correctly and working on existing URLs? Incidentally, I'm a little bemused by this problem of high importance - it is not usual that users surf a site by typing in random URLs in the hope that they lead to a page. So I don't quite see what all the panic's about. It does not matter if I redirect the user to the main-page or to a special error page. Fact is, that the error treatment does not work correctly, when the tipped url has the extension php. there is no panic around here, especially not here in southern france. it's just making us crazy beeing hacked from people and we want to defend, say answer these hacks, just redirecting them to the main page. hope i could make things clear and did not bug anybody here g mike The whole ErrorDoc scheme is about giving users some useful info when *you* inadvertently create a broken link on your site (happens a lot on complex sites). Also, your scheme of converting a 404 into a redirect to the homepage is a bit weird - how is anyone supposed to know something went wrong? They'll just assume your link leads to the homepage and get fed up - and they won't report the broken link to you (users are the best thing for finding bugs on your site :-) I'd have a think about the whole ErrorDoc thing and try to work out exactly what you're trying to achieve...

unfortunately the logfiles have been overwritten will do a new install. as soon as i get the same php messages i will store them and send them to you. but the questions rests, why the error treatment works with all tipped files instead php extension. if the user tips /xxx/inde /xxx/index.htm etc. error 404 is not displayed by the browser the redirection gets him to the page we want. but as soon as he tips /xxx/index.php or else with .php the browser answers with the windows 404 error message and our error treatment getting him to a certain page does not work anymore. thanks for your answers regards mike - error_log entry This would be useful... - access_log entry so would this... - do you actually have PHP installed? no - is it configured correctly and working on existing URLs?

Hacks? Requesting a non-existent URL is not a hack, it's a perfectly normal occurance on the web and the protocol defines exactly what to do - return a 404 status message. Optionally, the server can redirect to another resource, but it's assumed that the other resource would give the user *more* information about what went wrong. The routing is not working correctly because you have a misconfiguration in your config (did you search it for any PHP related directives?). We could probably offer more advise if we could see the error_log (it'll say what file it can't actually find) but it looks like you can't be bothered to dig that out...

thank you will do. mike -Ursprungliche Nachricht- Von: Boyle Owen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Dienstag, 30. Mai 2006 13:45 An: users@httpd.apache.org Betreff: RE: [EMAIL PROTECTED] htaccess -Original Message- From: Mididoc Productions [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2006 1:09 PM To: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: AW: [EMAIL PROTECTED] htaccess unfortunately the logfiles have been overwritten will do a new install. You don't have to re-install. A simple restart will recreate the logs if they don't already exist. The error_log entry is really important because it will tell you the real filesystem path (ie not just the URL) of the file that apache cannot find. as soon as i get the same php messages i will store them and send them to you. but the questions rests, why the error treatment works with all tipped files instead php extension. You must have (possibly accidentally) configured apache to handle PHP files somehow. And it's not working... if the user tips /xxx/inde /xxx/index.htm etc. error 404 is not displayed by the browser the redirection gets him to the page we want. but as soon as he tips /xxx/index.php or else with .php the browser answers with the windows 404 error message This is new information - do you mean the friendly MSIE error page? If so, that implies that the server is not sending enough data so MSIE helpfully throws it away and creates its own message. Switch this off (http://www.webwizguide.com/asp/faq/friendly_HTTP_error_messages.asp) then try again - maybe you're triggering a different error that's not listed in your ErrorDoc directives...
