I'm using the close-to-latest CVS snapshot (as of Oct. 2) of mod_backhand on
two moderator servers + five total servers and it's been performing
relatively well. However, I'm continuing to have occaisional, inexplicable,
and seemingly random 404 errors about 1 out of every 15 page views. This is
particular strange for the following reasons:
* There's no consistency in terms of time of day, URI, or client. It happens
on a broad range of all three criteria.
* It's occuring on URI's that obviously exist (like on the root URL "/").
* The virtual host is set so that non-existant URI's automatically 302
redirect to an error page, NOT 404.
I suspect that it might be related to mod_backhand because the problem seems
to have begun occuring around the same time as our backhand installation.
Also, the error log on the moderator server shows this when a 404 occurs:
[Tue Nov 13 01:15:30 2001] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] File does not
exist: backhand:/index.php
Note that this is different than the usual "bad URI"-type error log entry
because it has the "backhand:" prefix before the URI. Here's an example of a
standard "bad URI"-type error log entry:
[Tue Nov 13 18:28:32 2001] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] File does not
exist: PATH_TO_SITE_DOCS/testuri.html
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
