FAQ

Modules

Enable module

On Debian

Enable HSTS

a2enmod headers

and in config

Header always set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=15552000; includeSubDomains"


[core:emerg] [pid 3317] (28)No space left on device: AH00023: Couldn't create the rewrite-map mutex

Check

ipcs -s

 

Check which MPM is running ( prefork or worker)

httpd -V | grep MPM

or more modern

apache2ctl -t -D DUMP_MODULES | grep mpm

NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts

This means you're using <VirtualHost *> instead of <VirtualHost *:80> Or you have multiple declarations of NameVirtualHost *:80

Telnet session to webserver

telnet www.example.com 80
get / HTTP/1.1
<enter>
<enter>

For a virtual also pass host:

get / HTTP/1.1
host: virtual.host.com
<enter>

 

Apache memory usage

ps aux|grep http|awk '{sum+=$4} END {print sum}'

 

Authentication

Read:

In .htaccess or </Directory> section put:

Authtype Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/apache/htusers
Require valid-user

or

<DirectoryMatch "^/.*/\.git/">
 Require all denied
</DirectoryMatch>

Deny access to files

<FilesMatch \.(?i:gif|jpe?g|png)$>
 Require all denied
</FilesMatch>


 

Strange hang and not restarting

ipcs -s|grep apache
for i in `ipcs -s|grep apache|awk {'print $2'}`;do ipcrm sem $i;done;

Get core dumps

In apache configuration:

 CoreDumpDirectory /tmp/apache2-gdb-dump (make sure to have proper rights)

On freebsd

Set apache22limits_enable="YES in /etc/rc.conf

In apache configuration:

Other stuff to try

sysctl kern.sugid_coredump=1
sysctl kern.coredumps=1

On Debian

sysctl fs.suid_dumpable=2 ?
ulimit -c unlimited ?

Socket is not connected: core_output_filter: writing data to the network

Bug in some versions?

Connection refused: connect to listener on 0.0.0.0:80

Seems a jail problem, try setting

Listen 12.33.44.55:80

 

No such file or directory: Failed to enable the 'httpready' Accept Filter
