Hi, I have Apache Server version: Apache/2.4.1 (Unix) and am running into performance issues on my file system where access are slower than expected. I believe this is due to unexpected .htaccess file access from Apache server.
I have turned off all checks for htaccess override files in my httpd.conf file like this. <Directory /> AllowOverride None AllowOverrideList None </Directory> Yet when I run strace on the file system calls I still get system open commands on .htaccess for each level of my dir structure like this from strace 61844 mprotect(0x7fb824000000, 135168, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE) = 0 61844 fcntl(14, F_GETFL) = 0x2 (flags O_RDWR) 61844 fcntl(14, F_SETFL, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 0 61844 read(14, "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nUser-Agent: curl"..., 8000) = 169 61844 stat("/home/httpbld/htdocs/", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0777, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 61844 open("/.htaccess", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 15 61844 fstat(15, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=21, ...}) = 0 61844 read(15, "\n\n\n# this is a test\n\n", 4096) = 21 61844 read(15, "", 4096) = 0 61844 close(15) = 0 61844 open("/home/.htaccess", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 15 61844 fstat(15, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=21, ...}) = 0 61844 read(15, "\n\n\n# this is a test\n\n", 4096) = 21 61844 read(15, "", 4096) = 0 61844 close(15) = 0 61844 open("/home/httpbld/.htaccess", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 15 61844 fstat(15, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=21, ...}) = 0 61844 read(15, "\n\n\n# this is a test\n\n", 4096) = 21 61844 read(15, "", 4096) = 0 61844 close(15) = 0 61844 open("/home/httpbld/htdocs/.htaccess", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 15 61844 fstat(15, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0666, st_size=21, ...}) = 0 61844 read(15, "\n\n\n# this is a test\n\n", 4096) = 21 61844 read(15, "", 4096) = 0 61844 close(15) = 0 61844 stat("/home Please let me know if this is expected of if there is something configuration I am not setting correctly.
