Hello everybody! I subscribed to this list because I think I found a bug in Apache 2.0.53, but I might be wrong. I have apache 2.0.53 + apache 1.3.33 running in proxied mode on a dual Xeon 2.6GHz with Mandrake Linux 9.2. The machine hosts a main domain, let's say www.<my_domain>.ro and some virtual hosts named like: www.<vhost1>.<my_domain>.ro <vhost2>.<my_domain>.ro <vhost3>.<my_domain>.ro All the vhosts are CNAME for www.<my_domain>.ro in DNS. The configuration for vhost1, vhost2 and vhost3 in vhosts/Vhosts.conf is identically made except that the DocumentRoot and CustomLog sections point to different locations, such as: vhost1 has DocumentRoot /home/user1/public_html vhost2 has DocumentRoot /home/user2/public_html vhost3 has DocumentRoot /var/www/html/vhost3.my_domain.ro Here comes the problem: when vhost1 directoty index is "/home/user1/public_html/index.html", trying to access www.vhost1.my_domain.ro with a web browser results in 403 error ("Directory index forbidden by rule" in log files). Accessing www.vhost1.my_domain.ro/index.html works correctly. Replacing index.html with index.htm and accessing www.vhost1.my_domain.ro also works. In the same time vhost2 and vhost3 have no problem in recognising both index.htm or index.htmo as index file. Trying to replace DocumentRoot for vhost1 with /home/user2/public_html and accessing www.vhost1.my_domain.ro results in the same problem of only recognizing index.htm as index for vhost1. Replacing DocumentRoot for both vhost2 or vhost3 with /home/user1/public_html and accessing vhost2.my_domain.ro, respectively vhost3.my_domain.ro does not generate any problem for vhost2 or vhost3 to recognize index.html as index file, so I can certify the problem does not come from file/dir permissions. The only things that seems to be at the origin of the problem is the CNAME for vhost1, where there is a "www" before "vhost1". The same configuration files *did* work correctly with apache-2.0.47 Using the port 8200 (where apache 1.3.33 runs as mod_perl proxy) does not show the same problem as does the port 80, so it's only specific to apache-2.0.53. Did anybody have the same problem, or am I missing something? I suppose this must be a bug in apache 2.0.53. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
