mod_dir and backhand confliction?

May 6, 2002, 11:08 AM

Post #1 of 7 (3881 views)

I found an interesting problem(bug?), which could be a conflict between
mod_backhand and mod_dir.

I setup my directory index,

<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi login.cgi
</IfModule>

In going to http://my.server.com/, I should pickup index.html. Instead
I'm getting an error, "script not found or unable to stat: index.html"
about every sixth time the page is loaded.

But if I were to goto http://my.server.com/index.html, bypassing
mod_dir, I never get the stat errors.

BTW index.html is on every server in the cluster.

Any answers? Is this a known bug? I was thinking of getting passed
mod_dir using redirection or something. I've had no luck. Anyone have a
quick fix?

two options
1. dont use byRandom
2. put removeSelf before byRandom

look in the mailing list archives, there was a lot about just this
problem this past weekend.

I think I has seent his behaviour before. I saw Apache trying to stat
'/index.html' on my box. Someone submitted a patch, and it was applied
in the 1.2.0 release. However, I don't think it entirely fixed the
problem. Just a shot in the dark, but try swapping the mod_dir and
mod_backhand AddModule lines.

It only seems to happen with byRandom, if that helps track down the
problem.

Thanks, that works. Do anyone have a link or subject to the old
discussion. I did a google search on the archives and have been
scrolling through manually and can't seem to find the prior discussion.

Real quick, this goes to anyone who's claimed a problem, but could
they verify that their mod_dir.c sections are the same on all servers?
