Testing a basic virtual hosts setup in 2.0.58-r2 got a loop which LogLevel debug shows as: [Sun Jul 29 13:41:33 2007] [debug] core.c(2757): [client 12.34.56.78] r->uri = / [Sun Jul 29 13:41:33 2007] [debug] core.c(2770): [client 12.34.56.78] subrequested from r->uri = / ... [repeats up to LimitInternalRecursion setting - then repeats again, resulting in a huge log and 99% CPU usage] Simply upgrading to 2.0.59-r2 gave the correct response in this case: [Sun Jul 29 14:12:42 2007] [error] [client 12.34.56.78] Directory index forbidden by rule: /web/denton/dentontaylor/ The case was that the index file was .htm, and DirectoryIndex hadn't been set for that yet. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Install apache 2.0.58-r2, set up a virtual host (possibly without an index file in the home directory), visit with browser. Actual Results: System resources sucked up, huge log file generated quickly, apache2 must be stopped. Expected Results: The client browser should just have been sent an error message. Since 2.0.59-r2 does not have this problem, the suggested solution is to unmask that soon, rather than leave 2.0.58-r2 as the latest apache (if not ~86).

Could you please try 2.2.4-r10 ? That's the latest apache which is going to be stabled sooner or later (sooner I hope).

Can't try it at the moment on the box in question because it regards 1.3.* as a blocker. So after I get the sites on that box happy with 2.0.* I'll go to 2.2.*, but can't get 1.3.* out of the way for 2.2.* before then. (Is 2.2.* truly incompatible with 1.3.*? Since Gentoo has end-of-lifed 1.*, others in my position will be better of if going to 2.2 without killing 1.3 is possible. 1.3.* and 2.0.* are perfectly happy running together.)
please reopen if this is still an issue with apache 2.2
