After the apache refresh installed on many of my hardened and/or dedicated servers all of my mod_rewrite virtual maps absolutely refused to work. I consulted Beu on a few occasions, read the documentation and systematically tore the refresh build's httpd.conf and all Includes files apart with full debugging enabled to attempt to determine what could be the problem with mod_rewrite. I'm certainly not an apache expert by any means and pcre gives me a headache but i have 3 100MBit dedicated servers that absolutely must have mod_rewrite working. I tested included dynamic-vhosts.conf in vhosts.d with RewriteEngine on results were RewriteLog in logs/rewrite_log before while and after restarting apache remained a 0 byte file while being tailed despite how many times you refresh your browser. Scripting the mod_rewrite maps into httpd.conf produced no better results and mapped redirects consistantly do nothing but look cool and leave you waiting for the big bang... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. add a mod_rewrite Cond and ruleset to httpd.conf including RewriteLog and RewriteLogLevel 9 2. enable mod rewrite with RewriteEngine on and restart apache 3. be utterly baffled when high debug mode logfile fills with nothing and your rewrite ruleset does nothing but leave you scratching your egg Actual Results: After many hours of testing various configuration issues i discovered that commenting out the <VirtualHost> and NameVirtualHost :* directives in httpd.conf allowed mod_rewrite to fuction. Aswell with rewrite maps scripted inside the VirtualHost directives where DocumentRoot is defined rewrite engine does function and the rewrite engine debug log also began working. This bug is not specifically related to hardened. I've obtainted the same results on multiple systems not utilizing hardened toolchain or grsec. Expected Results: Mass virtual domains a la carte.. sans the bottle of tylenol for the average user. Not even the apache documented examples on mod_rewrite work where "Gentoo includes files for virtual aliases" could be highly frustrating for anyone. p4k1tst0rm root # emerge info Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.3-20050110, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r1, 2.6.11-hardened-r1 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-hardened-r1 i686 Pentium III (Coppermine) Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.5 [2.3.5 (#1, May 6 2005, 16:34:24)] distcc 2.16 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: [Not Present] sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r7 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.16 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fforce-addr -mfpmath=sse -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control /var/run/dspam /var/spool/dspam" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fforce-addr -mfpmath=sse -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo http://mirror.clarkson.edu/pub/distributions/gentoo/ http://gentoo.seren.com/gentoo ftp://gentoo.netnitco.net/pub/mirrors/gentoo/source/" MAKEOPTS="-j4" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X509 acl acpi adns alsa apache2 authdaemond bash-completion berkdb bzip2 bzlib ccache chroot cluster crypt ctype curl curlwrappers dba dio emboss encode erandom exif extensions fam fortran freetds ftp gd gdbm gmp hardened hardenedphp imagemagick imap imlib innodb ipv6 java javamail junit kerberos ldap libg++ libwww maildir memlimit mhash mmx mp3 mpi mysql nagios-dns nagios-ntp nagios-ping nagios-ssh ncurses neural nis nls nptl objc odbc pam pcntl pcre perl pg-hier pg-intdatetime pg-vacuumdelay php pic pie png posix postgres procmail python readline ruby sasl sendfile session sftplogging shaper shared sharedext sharedmem simplexml snmp sockets softquota spell sse ssl sysvipc szip tcpd tiff unicode vda vhosts virtual-users virus-scan wddx xml xml2 xmlrpc xsl zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS
mod_rewrite works just fine for me using new-style configuration. please attach your configurations and repoen so we can determine why it isn't working for you.
