Package: libapache2-mod-php4
Version: 4.3.8-9
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
When using Apache with MultiViews enabled for content negociation, some
browser (and a lot of search engines such as Google) can't access php
pages, and receive a "406 Not Acceptable" error from Apache.
The problem appears on clients that send an Accept header such as
"text/html,text/plain,application/xhtml+xml". When apache is looking for
the right file to serve, apache only lookup for files that are of the
listed type and not of type "application/x-httpd-php".
One solution is to change the line
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
into
AddHandler php-script .php
AddType text/html .php
I don't know the consequences such a change have, so I don't ask you to
change that in /etc/apache2/mods-available/php4.conf. However, adding
such lines as comments could help users to fix the problem. At least I
would have find the solution a lot faster, so I think it would be the
same for other users.
So in short, here is what I suggest for that config file:
# If you use Apache with MultiViews enabled for content negociation, and
# you get complains of 406 errors, you can try to comment the first
# following line, and uncomment the two next ones.
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
#AddHandler php-script .php
#AddType text/html .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
