Hello List, i dont know if im right here, or that i should file a bugreport, but i will post my problem here first. I have an easy rewrite Rule, which rewrites everything to /index.php, when the filename or directory doesnt exist. RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] Sometimes and really random i become an bad request error 400 back. After debugging a litte bit i found, that there were changes made with the "context docroot" Here are the rewrite logs from an failed and from an working request: FAILED: rewrite '2014/tree/' -> '/index.php' trying to replace prefix /www/471639_96450/gn2-hosting.de/host260161/host260155/danielbaer.eu/ with / trying to replace context docroot with context prefix internal redirect with index.php [INTERNAL REDIRECT] WORKING: rewrite '2014/tree/' -> '/index.php' trying to replace prefix /www/471639_96450/gn2-hosting.de/host260161/host260155/danielbaer.eu/ with / trying to replace context docroot \xa0/\xde\v\xd8/\xde\v\x901\xde\v with context prefix internal redirect with /index.php [INTERNAL REDIRECT] It doesnt work, when when ap_context_document_root(r) is empty, but not NULL. Sometimes it gives me strange docroot folders back like \xa0/\xde\v\xd8/\xde\v\x901\xde\v In 2.4.19 ( i think ) a new option in mod_rewrite was added and i think there could be an error there: /* No base URL, or r->filename wasn't still under dconf->directory * or, r->filename wasn't still under the document root. * If there's a context document root AND a context prefix, and * the context document root is a prefix of r->filename, replace. * This allows a relative substitution on a path found by mod_userdir * or mod_alias without baking in a RewriteBase. */ if (tmpfilename == r->filename && !(dconf->options & OPTION_IGNORE_CONTEXT_INFO)) { if ((ccp = ap_context_document_root(r)) != NULL) { const char *prefix = ap_context_prefix(r); if (prefix != NULL) { rewritelog((r, 2, dconf->directory, "trying to replace " "context docroot %s with context prefix %s", ccp, prefix)); r->filename = subst_prefix_path(r, r->filename, ccp, prefix); } } } After adding "RewriteOptions IgnoreContextInfo" the random errors are gone. So then. The question is: Bug or Feature and should i file this bug somewhere ?
