Bug #14409 Updated: request for nonexistent file does not return 404 error

ID: 14409 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: support@teamITS.com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Apache related Operating System: IRIX64 vega 6.5 04191225 IP27 PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: Please show us the lines in the apache log file of such an request. Derick Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-19 11:34:46] support@teamITS.com To clarify the comment about IIS, PHP is installed as a CGI (php.exe) on that server. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-10 14:38:30] support@teamITS.com To reproduce, enter a bogus filename in a browser. For example, http://www.teamITS.com/blahblah.php. The server returns an Internal Server Error rather than a 404 (page not found) error. I reported this to Apache and their response was: "This is the way the appropriate directives work on purpose (although you didn't say just how you had PHP configured to run), since it is possible to create a virtual URL space. The PHP module is the one deciding how to handle requests for nonexisting files." Their issue number was mod_cgi/8683 (as PHP is installed as a CGI module on this server). Sounds to me like they are saying PHP should be returning an error to Apache. If you want more info on the PHP setup on our server, browse to: http://www.teamits.com/phpinfo.php Note that a PHP/IIS4 combination does return a 404 error. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14409&edit=1
