*About the exploit*There is an exploit is was happening. I thought they 
were related to a web2py app on Apache, but I'm sure any more. What is 
happening is that another web server keeps getting this type of requests 
from a server I'm working on. This keeps happening although the ports 80 
and 443 (and almost all other ports) for outbound traffic of the servers 
are closed. ModProxy is disabled.

server.ip - - [  -0500] "GET 
/index.php?page=../../../../../../../../proc/self/environ%00 HTTP/1.1" 200 
7792 "-" "Mozilla/4.76 [en] (Win98; U)"


I did find some suspicious apache logs which made me think it was related 
to a web2py app:

I did not wish to say that web2py has any specific issues, but rather to 
learn about potential and perhaps common mistakes people do when creating 
web2py or wsgi apps. Though this might as well be related to a php site or 
something else completely.



*About naming this thread*When I wrote the name I thought it was related to 
one of my web2py apps, although it would probably be me who is responsible. 
Though I see what you mean *Anthony*, and I only wish to support web2py, as 
I find it to be the very best framework for creating server side web 
appplications. And I do not have any logs of the chat.



*About why I use apache*You are right of course Niphlod. The full story is 
just that I had a working setup with Apache without any issues, so I was 
focusing on app development and not choosing web servers. It worked very 
well so far in the context, and it's not really important to discuss this 
any further. I have my reasons for why things are like they are, and of 
course I can move to nginx.

Thanks for your replies so far!
- Robin
