Re: ErrorDocument not read with fcgid (Apache Users)

Hi Xavier,

mod_proxy shows a similar behaviour for HTTP error status codes (corrected by https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxyerroroverride).

I believe that when the 403 is generated by fcgi and not by Apache itself then the ErrorDocument is not used to avoid interfering with the response payload. In the mod-proxy case for example you might want to let the backend to return an ad hoc response rather than using Apache's ErrorDocuments, so the "standard" configuration try not to be too invasive (unless explicitly told otherwise by proxyerroroverride). I didn't find any mod_fcgid directive that can help, but you could resolve the issue in two ways:

1) instructing the fcgi application to return the redirect that you want in case of 403/404

2) using https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy_fcgi.html and proxyerroroverride

I might be really wrong so if anybody has a better explanation please correct me :)

It would be also great to update the documentation of mod_fcgid to include a solution to this problem! (/me is going to do it right after the correct answer is given).

Hi,

When fcgi file returns a 403 error, the error is displayed by Apache
without redirection. When an error is detected on other files (missing
file in static for example), the redirection acts perfectly.
