The web server is Apache 2.2.22 running on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
This is my http.conf file:
DirectoryIndex index.shtml index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml
LoadModule cgi_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_cgi.so
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
LoadModule include_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_include.so
<Directory "/var/www">
Options +Includes
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
AddType text/html .shtml
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
XBitHack on
</Directory>
According to this http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_include.html I need to have the AddType entry (got it), the AddOutputFilter entry (got it), and the Options +Includes entry (got it). It says I need to put that in a section (got it).
According to this http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/ssi.html I need Options +Includes (got it), AddType (got it) AddOutputFilter (got it), and XBitHack On may help.
This is the /var/www/index.shtml file:
<html>
<body>
<p>The current date is <!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL" --></p>
</body>
</html>
The permissions on that file are set to -rwxr-xr-x.
When I load the file in my web browser, it loads and renders fine but the SSI part is not processed. All I see is "The current date is".
Here's the entry from /var/log/apache2/access.log:
10.0.2.2 - - [05/Oct/2013:16:57:07 +0000] "GET /index.shtml HTTP/1.1" 200 401 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/30.0.1599.66 Safari/537.36"
Here is the error from /var/log/apache2/error.log:
[Sat Oct 05 16:57:07 2013] [warn] [client 10.0.2.2] mod_include: Options +Includes (or IncludesNoExec) wasn't set, INCLUDES filter removed
Options +Includes wasn't set? I see it right there in my http.conf file. I Googled around but couldn't figure out what the problem is.
The solution is to place the directives shown at the beginning of this web page in a Directory section, but not place them in the http.conf file. Instead they belong in the sites-available/default file.
This was sufficient to get it working:
<Directory "/var/www">
# ... other stuff appears here
# add the three lines below:
AddType text/html .shtml
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
Options +Includes
</Directory>
Quick addition: For MACOS Mojave, place these directives into
Macintosh HD ▸ private ▸ etc ▸ apache2 ▸ users▸ {username}.conf

I'm trying to run bWAPP SSI injection lesson. However it seems SSI doesn't work on my computer. I'm using PHP 5.6.30 and Apache 2.4.18 on Ubuntu 16.04. I've added the following to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf but not working
<Directory /var/www/html/bWAPP/>
Options +Includes
AddType text/html .shtml
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
</Directory>
Adding the following to /var/www/html/bWAPP/.htaccess is also not working
Options +Includes
AddType text/html .shtml
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
I've restarted the Apache server but still not working.
Is there anything I have to do to enable SSI?
To enable ssl on Ubuntu/Apache-WebServer you need to take next steps on command line:
a2enmod ssl
a2ensite default-ssl.conf
service apache2 restart
For specific virtual host just copy default-ssl.conf to, for example, bwapp.conf and change that file similar to look like this
ServerName bwapp.youserver.com
ServerAlias www.bwapp.yourserver.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#yourserver.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/bwapp/
<Directory /var/www/html/bwapp>
Options FollowSymLinks
DirectoryIndex index.php
</Directory>
After that, enable this virtual host from command line
a2ensite bwapp.conf
service apache2 restart
Good luck.
I have setup Review Board and it works fine when accessed from localhost.
When I try to access it by ip (from LAN), I get BAD REQUEST.
I have copied apache-wsgi.conf to my apache conf directory.

I have installed reviewboard into /var/www/reviews.als.kz directory.
Chown-ed it to apache:apache.
I run it on Fedora 21.
Review Board version 2.0.12
Apache httpd version 2.4.10
Thanks
The problem had been with python settings.
Added my ip address to ALLOWED_HOSTS within settings_local.py file and everything worked.
Thanks
I had the same problem. When you configure your reviewboard, you have to give it a site name . Some thing like "reviewboard.mycompany.com". It doesn't have to be a registered name just make up something.
Then when you try to access the reviewboard main page, use the site name (reviewboard.mycompany.com) as the URL. You'll of course need to add the made-up hostname to to your /etc/hosts so your machine can resolve the address.
Create a host entry / DNS entry with the site name. like
reivews.mycompany.com x.x.x.x
It's worked for me.
I had the same problem.
Fixed it by adding this line to my httpd.conf :
HttpProtocolOptions unsafe
I'm trying to use the .htaccess file on my Apache server.
Here is what my .htaccess looks like
# 1 YEAR
<FilesMatch "\.(ico|svg|woff|eot|ttf)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=31536000, public"
</FilesMatch>
# 1 WEEK
<FilesMatch "\.(jpg|png|gif|css|js)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=604800, public"
</FilesMatch>
# Add correct content-type for fonts
AddType application/vnd.ms-fontobject .eot
AddType font/ttf .ttf
AddType font/otf .otf
AddType font/x-woff .woff
AddType image/svg+xml .svg
# Compress compressible fonts
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE font/ttf font/otf image/svg+xml
I enabled mod_rewrite using a2enmod rewrite
The tutorials I followed told me to edit the file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default but there isn't a file by the name default in that folder. There was a 000-default.conf instead in the same path. But that file didn't have the part
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
which I'm supposed to edit.
This is the contents of 000-default.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
#ServerName www.example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
# Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
# error, crit, alert, emerg.
# It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
# modules, e.g.
#LogLevel info ssl:warn
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
# For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
# enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
# include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
# following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
# after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
#Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
</VirtualHost>
# vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet
However /etc/apache2/apache2.conf had the exact same part. So I replaced AllowOverride None over there to AllowOverride All. I restarted the server after that.
However the .htaccess file is still not being loaded. If I add gibberish to the .htaccess file everything still works fine meaning it didn't get loaded.
What did I miss here?
First of all, the name of the file doesn't really matters. 000-default.conf, while not really common seems good to me.
Modify your site configuration
There are 2 major things you have to consider when serving .htaccess files :
AccessFileName .htaccess
AllowOverride All
As said in the apache2 doc, you must declare AllowOverride in a Directory section. That's why it didn't work when setting it in main config file.
I'd advise you to just paste those 4 lines in /etc/apache2/000-default.conf inside the Virtualhost section and it should work:
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
(assuming your root directory is /var/www)
You don't have to set AccessFileName as default is .htaccess.
If it doesn't work and you have more than 1 file in /etc/apache2/sites-available
Apache might use another config thant 000-default.conf. Just check which of those are symlinked to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled. If there's still more than 1, you might want to disable every other enabled site just to be sure.
If it still doesn't work, just check file ownership & permissions.
The isssue was that I was placing the .htaccess file in /var/www/ while my DocumentRoot for my website was pointing to a different directory. Moving the .htaccess file to that folder solved the issue.
I have a directory where users can upload files.
To avoid security issues (e.g. somebody uploading a malicious php script), I currently change the files' extension by appending .data for example, but then when downloading the file, they have to manually remove the .data.
Another common solution is to upload the files in a directory that is not served by Apache, and have a php script manage all downloads by calling readfile().
What I'd like to do is to simply disallow execution of any scripts (php, perl, cgi scripts, whatever I may install in the future) in the upload folder. This SO answer suggests adding the following line in a .htaccess file in that folder:
SetHandler default-handler
However, in my case this has no effect (the example php script I put in that folder is still executed). What am I doing wrong?
Apache configuration
The machine is a VPS (Virtual Private Server) running Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.7 (squeeze), and as far as I can remember (I note down all commands I run on that server, so my "memory" should be pretty accurate), I dindn't change anything in apache2 configuration, appart from running sudo apt-get install php5, and creating the the file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mysite.com with the following contents:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
ServerName mysite.com
ServerAlias www.mysite.com
DocumentRoot /home/me/www/mysite.com/www/
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
<Directory /home/me/www/mysite.com/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from All
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Put this in your .htaccess:
<Files *>
# #mivk mentionned in the comments that this may break
# directory indexes generated by Options +Indexes.
SetHandler default-handler
</Files>
But this has a few security holes: one can upload a .htaccess in a subdirectory, and override these settings, and they might also overwrite the .htaccess file itself!
If you're paranoid that the behaviour of the option should change in the future, put this in your /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mysite.com
<Directory /home/me/www/upload/>
# Important for security, prevents someone from
# uploading a malicious .htaccess
AllowOverride None
SetHandler none
SetHandler default-handler
Options -ExecCGI
php_flag engine off
RemoveHandler .cgi .php .php3 .php4 .php5 .phtml .pl .py .pyc .pyo
<Files *>
AllowOverride None
SetHandler none
SetHandler default-handler
Options -ExecCGI
php_flag engine off
RemoveHandler .cgi .php .php3 .php4 .php5 .phtml .pl .py .pyc .pyo
</Files>
</Directory>
If you can't modify the apache configuration, then put the files in a .htaccess with the following directory structure:
/home/me/www/
|- myuploadscript.php
|- protected/
|- .htaccess
|- upload/
|- Uploaded files go here
That way, nobody should be able to overwrite your .../protected/.htaccess file since their uploads go in a subdirectory of .../protected, not in protected itself.
AFAICT, you should be pretty safe with that.
My Godaddy setup wont allow me to edit the httpd.conf files, and the php_flag command doesn't work due to how they've implemented php for me.
I was able to use this in my .htaccess file:
SetHandler default-handler
AddType text/plain php
I put this in the directory above where my FTP user is allowed to access, which forces all PHP files in that directory, as well as all sub-directories to show php as plain text.
This will work for other file types as well. All you need to do is add another line with whatever extension of file you want to be forced to display in plain text. AddType text/plain cgi for example
I have been trying to install ReviewBoard and all looks like it has gone well, in as much as I can access the site and functionality
However, I have strangeness where no style sheet appears to be applied for some reason.
I suspect it may be a permissions issue on a folder that it can't access or some Apache setup error I have made.
Is there any Apache configuration that could have caused this?
Has anyone experienced any similar problems not just for ReviewBoard?
Further info: It looks like Apache is receiving the request for the Stylesheets
[20/May/2009:10:00:35 +0100] "GET /reviewboard/media/rb/css/common.css?1242747706 HTTP/1.1" 404 2512

EDIT: Looking at the access logs the GET for the CSS is actually 404-ing as the path should be reviewboard/htdocs/media/rb/css/* (although there is an alias in the HTTP.conf that I assumed dealt with this.

</VirtualHost>
The URL for Location and Alias directives can't be relative and needs a leading slash. Thus you should be using '/reviewboard/.......'.
FWIW, the PythonInterpreter directive isn't used for what your comment against it seems to indicate you think it does.
# Used to run multiple mod_python sites in the same apache
PythonInterpreter reviewboard_reviewboard
The application is always run within same Apache instance. What PythonInterpreter does is allow you control which Python sub interpreter within each Apache server child process it runs. It is actually redundant in your case, as the same sub interpreter is by default used for all mod_python hosted applications under the same VirtualHost. Note that there will still be multiple instances of the application, on in each of the Apache server child processes.
You could make a symlink in reviewboard called 'media' that points at htdocs/media perhaps.
Alternatively:
move htdocs/media to ..
or go into the reviewboard code and tweak the url generating code
or if you have mod_rewrite installed you could redirect requests to the right place
