[Phpwiki-talk] root .htaccess file

[Carsten K. <car...@ma...>]

The current .htaccess file in the root phpwiki directory causes problems 
for me in Apache/1.3.22:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was 
unable to complete your request.

The problem is the first line:

<IfModule mod_php4.c>
   php_flag register_globals off
   php_flag track_vars on

   php_flag allow_url_fopen off
</IfModule>

When the "4" is removed it is fine. The newer Apache servers assume php is 
version 4 by default, and would require mod_php3.c if using php3.

Can / should we change this?

It doesn't seem right that this should cause an internal server error by
itself.  One should be able to do:

<IfModule mod_nonexisting_module.c>
  All kinds of terrible things,
  which apache normally would,
  not like at all
</IfModule>

...as long as mod_nonexiting_module.c really doesn't exist, it shouldn't
bother Apache at all.


If sometimes PHP4 is in mod_php4.c and sometimes in mod_php.c, it seems
the correct solution is:

<IfModule mod_php4.c>
   php_flag register_globals off
   php_flag track_vars on
   php_flag allow_url_fopen off
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_php.c>
   php_flag register_globals off
   php_flag track_vars on
   php_flag allow_url_fopen off
</IfModule>

But, if I understand you correctly, you're saying this causes problems for
you?

Maybe we should comment out everything in the distributed .htaccess file,
and encourage people to adjust as appropriate for their
installation.(PhpWiki, in stock configuration, runs fine even without an
.htacess, right?)

PS: according to comments in my RedHat distributed httpd.conf, mod_php.c
is PHP/FI (PHP2).

Yeah the solution you gave of including both also causes the failure. I'm 
going to check their web site to see if this is a known problem with 
Apache before we change PhpWiki's .htaccess.
