Package: apache2 Severity: wishlist I wanted to modify the default DirectoryIndex line in apache2.conf, so I attempted to comment out just the last couple entries:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.shtml index.cgi index.pl #index.php index.xhtml This is an error, because apparently the config file doesn't expect to have comments in the middle of lines. This causes the internal request recursion limit to be hit when trying to access any directory without an explicit index file, and thus the user sees "500 Internal Server Error." The ErrorLog reports the following: [Tue Feb 22 00:25:22 2005] [error] [client 202.133.207.69] Request exceeded the limit of 10 subrequest nesting levels due to probable confguration error. Use 'L imitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace. This error, of course, has nothing to do with the actual problem. I therefore suggest that 'apache2ctl -t' warn the user about the mid-line comment which could be an error. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-10-amd64-k8 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
