Package: apache2.2-common Version: 2.2.16-6+squeeze4 Severity: normal
If I enable mod_rewrite, and access a directory index URL (no index.html), I see this in my server logs: [Mon Dec 26 13:39:48 2011] [error] [client 172.20.1.11] Options FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is off which implies that RewriteRule directive is forbidden: /usr/share/apache2/icons/text.gif, referer: http://momjian.us/main/writings/ The system is trying to access the images that appear in directory listings, e.g. text.gif. Adding "Options +FollowSymLinks" in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default did not help. I had to add it to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/alias.conf with the attached patch: *** ./alias.conf.orig 2011-12-26 13:56:12.000000000 -0500 --- ./alias.conf 2011-12-26 13:56:57.000000000 -0500 *************** *** 16,21 **** --- 16,23 ---- <Directory "/usr/share/apache2/icons"> Options Indexes MultiViews + # remove log rewrite error for index lookups 2011-12-26 + Options +FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all This eliminated the log error message. _ -- Package-specific info: List of enabled modules from 'apache2 -M': actions* alias auth_basic authn_file authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_user autoindex cgi deflate dir env include mime negotiation perl php5 python reqtimeout rewrite setenvif status (A * means that the .conf file for that module is not enabled in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/) List of enabled php5 extensions: pdo suhosin -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages apache2 depends on: ii apache2-mpm-prefork 2.2.16-6+squeeze4 Apache HTTP Server - traditional n ii apache2.2-common 2.2.16-6+squeeze4 Apache HTTP Server common files apache2 recommends no packages. apache2 suggests no packages.
