Bug#649310: Apache serves inexistent URIs when mod_negotiation is loaded
Package: apache2.2-bin
Version: 2.2.16-6+squeeze4
When requesting "http://myserver.org/somefile/foobar";, while exists
script "somefile.php", Apache runs that very script.
While exists file "somefile.html", Apache tries to serve
<document_root>/somefile.html/foobar, not
<document_root>/somefile/foobar.
This situation becomes a problem, when mod_rewrite is used and words
in original request interfere with filenames in document root.
After removing mod_negotioation from Apache configuration this bug desappears.
The problem is found on clean system installed on VirtualBox VM, with
default configuration.
