This is probably a coincidence, but I had one of my hosted sites (with no php
code anywhere, and certainly no .php files) returning a script error on load
instead of showing the non-php webpage:
[proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 88148] [client xx.xx.xx.xx:63137] AH01071: Got error
'Primary script unknown\n’
And it would display a blank page for a few seconds, then “File Not Found”
would appear. There was no HTTP error code.
Other hosted sites, also not using php, didn’t have this problem, and sites
that did use php were working fine.
All sites are configured to allow php, and have an fcgi in their configuration:
DocumentRoot ${WEBROOT}
ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/${WEBROOT}$1
On the problem site, if I commented out the ProxyPassMatch line and reloaded
apache, the site would load.
Confusing.
Not being sure what was causing this one one specific site, I started comparing
the directory structure, .htaccess, and anything I could look at to see what
was different about this particular site and I noticed that it had a zero
length robots.txt file in the webroot, which no other site had.
Removing that file made the site load properly.
I still get many script errors in the error log, but these mostly have a
referer [sic] at the end and are obviously attempts to hack into the page:
[proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 42901] [client 178.137.92.187:61783] AH01071: Got error
'Primary script unknown\n', referer: /www/XXX/license.php

But I still get a few bare ones:

(The 74.71.9.14 IP has made more than 50,000 requests for non-existent files on
this hosted domain, sadly it is a residential IP from RoadRunner, and they are
worthless to deal with, regardless of how often they change their company name)
Why would a blank robots.txt cause this issue? Or is there something else going
on here and this is just a weird coincidence?
