Hello,
I created a module with a handler and flagged it using SetHandler directive
from within a Directory entry. When I did this, I observed that the
DirectoryIndex directive no longer works. i.e., if I have index.html in the
site’s root directory, typing the root url gives 404. I tried on other
modules, and I tried with a module that I stripped down to a skeleton, and
still does the same. Then I finally discovered that in fact, I can make up an
arbitrary SetHandler entry that doesn’t correspond to any module, and I still
get the same effect.

[error] [client xxxxxx] Attempt to serve directory: /home/allasso/public_html/
--------------
configuration:
<Directory /home/allasso/public_html>
SetHandler dumpheaders-handler
…
</Directory>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml index.htm
(note, I also tried adding DirectoryIndex entry inside <Directory
/home/allasso/public_html> but it had no effect)
---------------
FWIW, here is skeleton module:
#include "httpd.h"
#include "http_config.h"
#include "http_main.h"
#include "http_protocol.h"
#include "http_core.h"
#include "http_log.h"
static int handler(request_rec *r)
{
if (!r->handler || strcmp(r->handler, "dumpheaders-handler")) return
(DECLINED);
ap_set_content_type(r, "text/html");
ap_rprintf(r, "<p>Dumping headers...</p>\n");
return OK;
}
static void register_hooks(apr_pool_t *pool)
{
ap_hook_handler(handler, NULL, NULL, APR_HOOK_FIRST);
}
module AP_MODULE_DECLARE_DATA dumpheaders_module =
{
STANDARD20_MODULE_STUFF,
NULL,
NULL,
NULL,
NULL,
NULL,
register_hooks, /* set up other request processing hooks */
};
—————————
But as I said, a module doesn’t even need to exist.
Can anyone shed some light on this behavior?
Thank you kindly,
Allasso Travesser
