It's under an block, which _requires_ Rewrite to work. This way, it's not going to fail for irrelevant configurations, and it's going to signal a real error if mod_rewrite is disabled.

[dl-ticket-service] Problem with Thunderbird Set up
Hi, I've been trying to get DL 0.17 to work with Thunderbird 38.4.0 and cannot figure out what's going wrong. The server-side part of DL appears to be installed ok and functioning properly. I've installed the latest Addon in Thunderbird but am unable to add the storage service. This is what I am entering in the Set up Filelink dialog: REST URL: http://dl.burnit.co.uk/rest.php Username: My username (which is an admin account) When I click "Set up Account", Thunderbird immediately says "An error occurred while setting up the account!" and does not prompt for a password. Is there anywhere I can see a log of more information to get a clue what is going wrong here? Thanks, Seb

There are a few things to check:

Thanks for your reply Yuri. I had read this already, but on re-reading
I found the reason why it wasn't working: I'm using mod_fcgi and this
doesn't pass Basic Auth properly.
I added an .htaccess file with the following:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
Now it's working fine :)
It might be good idea to include this in the distribution. As far as I
can see it wouldn't hurt, regardless of whether fcgi was used.

Ah but it's in there ;)

Note that mod_fcgi buffers the upload into memory, unfortunately.

Yes, this is where I got the clue that I needed to create the .htaccess
file :)
What I was suggesting is that you include such an .htaccess file with
the distribution, and then people will not need to edit httpd.conf if
they happen to use fcgi. And it shouldn't hurt in the case where fcgi
is not used.
Note that mod_fcgi buffers the upload into memory, unfortunately.
Yes, it's a shame, although there are other advantages that fcgi brings
so we stick with it.
Cheers,
Seb

But maybe it's easier to fix an InternalError then, once you see where it's originating. Any opinions from others? >> Note that mod_fcgi buffers the upload into memory, unfortunately. >> > Yes, it's a shame, although there are other advantages that fcgi brings > so we stick with it. fcgi definitely brings major advantages, I don't know why mod_fcgi wasn't updated to fix this problem in so many years. This was actually my major issue with apache before I started looking elsewhere even for low-load servers.
