Wacky apache (1.3.27) behavior
Greetings!
I've got the latest apache (1.3.27.0-1) and php4 (4.2.3-14) packages,
and I've noticed a very strange thing. If I create a file in the root
of the web server (/var/www) named 'foo.php' that looks like this:
<?php echo "<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>BODY</BODY></HTML>\n" ?>
when I go to http://webserver/foo.php, I get a page that looks
appropriate. I also get this page when I go to:
http://webserver/foo/anything/I/type/here/is/ok
One other piece of data. If I create an empty file named 'foo.html' in
the same directory, I start getting the appropriate 404 errors when I go
to /foo/ locations.
Eh? The problem is that this sort of thing appears to be happening when
crawlers (and my htdig) hit my site. The result is a recursive tree
that goes on forever.
What's up with this? Any thoughts on how to fix it?
Thanks!
Chris
