Accented Characters With Apache
Jan 7, 2008
Recently we have moved our Invision Power board (version 2.3.3) from InvisionPower hosting to a dedicated server. On our new server we have:
Apache 2.2.6
PHP 5.2.4
MySQL 5.0.24
Things seem to be about 95% OK, however, there are occasional problems with posting: several members tried to post Hungarian and French characters, like
Á Í Ő Ö Ő Ű
à â ç é è ê ë î ï ô û ù ü ÿ
These are not getting through, and they get an error:
Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Apache/2.2.0 (Fedora) Server at Port 80
Members have been asked to try with Explorer, Firefox and Opera, and all get the same results. This is strange, as most Croatian and Serbian characters that are accentuated, like:
č, š, ć, ž
These go through just fine, as well as Cyrillic alphabet is OK as well.
Additionaly, one member reported a problem that 3-4 times he got an error while posting (but is usually OK to post), and he writes in Serbian Cyrillic - which seems to be usually fine, but there is an odd problem and error message:
Method Not Implemented
POST to /forums/index.php not supported.
Apache/2.2.0 (Fedora) Server at Port 80
We asked Invision Power Board tech support, however they say that the errors are on the server end in the Apache configuration, and not IPB. Which seems logical, as before the move on the new server (I don't think the old server used to run Apache), nothing like this used to happen.

I have an [URL] ....
I use htaccess to rewrite it to: [URL] ...
and there is a problem, because I do not get what I need. The result is: [URL] .....
The last / sing dous not even matter, because if I write the url without the ending /, the three dots are still removed.
It looks like everywhere in the url the (in regexp) .+/ pattern is replaced with a simple / sign.
The RewriteRule is very simple, I can not imagine it has anything to do with this, but it looks this:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?p=$1 [QSA]
I started to log the rewrite and it looks like if the specific parts of the url are replaced before the rewrite got it.
These are the first few rows of the rewrite log:
add path info postfix: E:/web/service/szerz....odes -> E:/web/service/szerz....odes/action/axgetszerzodesar/ugyfelid/46402/termekid/46032/szerzodesszam/2012.01.01/
strip per-dir prefix: E:/web/service/szerz....odes/action/axgetszerzodesar/ugyfelid/46402/termekid/46032/szerzodesszam/2012.01.01/ -> szerz....odes/action/axgetszerzodesar/ugyfelid/46402/termekid/46032/szerzodesszam/2012.01.01/
applying pattern '^(.*)$' to uri 'szerz....odes/action/axgetszerzodesar/ugyfelid/46402/termekid/46032/szerzodesszam/2012.01.01/'
webserver: Apache/2.2.22 (Win32) PHP/5.2.17
and Apache/2.2.9 (Win32) PHP/5.2.17 (I refreshed it today because of this problem)
os: win7 home premium sp1
It is tested on a linux os too, but there were no such problems.

I want to redirect all the URLs starting from specific characters.
For instance:
www.example.com/abc-apple
www.example.com/abc-bat.html
www.example.com/abc-cat.php
All of the URLs above starts with "abc-" I want a redirect code to redirect all URLs starting from "abc-" to a single URL i.e. www.example.com/allÂ

We have many intranet document what linked on our intranet site. We use "apache builed in" directory listing to handle documents on browser, and make accessable to users. Because this not so user friendly we try to use a template (h5ai-[URL] ....) for mod_autoindex.
Unfortunatelly if file or folder name contains special characters (like é,á,ű,ő,ú,ü,ö,ó) than get Access Forbidden - Error 403. If change the folder name, than its ok.
I use xampp. how to solve this.

I've migrated from Apache 2.2 to Apache 2.4 few days ago. It is installed as a service on my Windows 7 developer machine and works in bundle with PHP 5.6.2.
Today I've discovered that GET parameters with Cyrillic characters in URL string are empty.
For example URL looks like this: site.com/search.php?q=%C8%E2%E0%ED%EE%E2
URL-encoded string here is Иванов (%C8%E2%E0%ED%EE%E2)
When I try to use this GET parameter in my PHP script - the variable $_GET['q'] is empty. If I put latin characters in this parameter - $_GET['q'] is taking the corresponding value.
Doesn't look like it's a problem of PHP as I think. Otherwise at least something should stay in the variable. And also I would like to add that this was working absolutely normal on Apache 2.2.

I'm seeing weird characters on my support home page:
That's found right below "Home > Support"
The source code shows the following...
Quote:
<tr>
<td style="padding:0px"><p>Welcome to our Support Area.</p>
I've checked the two template files (header.tpl and homepage.tpl) but did not find such characters. Its boggling me. Not even whitespace.

I have an oddball problem here that I haven't seen.
When you visit domain.com, characters are displayed like the files are not being properly read. However, when you visit domain.com/index.php all works fine. I thought this would be an .htaccess issue and tried simply removing it, but this doesn't fix the issue. I checked httpd.conf and all looks fine there too.

I have a cpanel 11 server with php 4.4.6 installed. my site use php scripts and one day even if the file was not edited, not touched at all , i get errors like
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ']' in /home/xxx/public_html/wp-includes/post.php on line 37
I checked and could find a lot of illeagal characters in my php file. See below. for post_status , it became post_statuó and edit_date became edit_date<8d>. If you read through the code, you can see a lot of illegal characters. This is why i get parse errors. I had to replace the file from backup and the issue fixed. But this problem continues to occur for more files and i can't find a reason for this. Again I am the only one with access, I use BBedit to edit php files when needed in Mac OS X, and beleive I know what is being edited and again, those file which gets errors does not need to be edited for nothing, not even to modify wordpress.
======================================================
iN ( 'draft' == $post['post_statuó'] && empty($postarr['edit_date<8d>]) && empty($postarr['post_date¯]) &&
('0000-00-00 00:00:00' == $post['post_date']) )
$clçar_date = true;
else
$clear_nate = false;
// Merge old and"new fields with new fields overÃriting old ones.
$postarr = arRay_merge($post, $postarr);
$poytarr['post_category'] = $post_cáts;
if ( $clear_date ) {
$poótarr['post_date'] = '';
$postërr['post_date_gmt'] = '';
}
éf ($postarr['post_type'] == 'at|achment')
return wp_insert_atÃachment($postarr);

I'm having a problem that I've never run across before, and was wondering if anyone might have any ideas as to what may be causing this.
Basically, on 3 of 5 new servers on a brand new private rack from The Planet, we're having what we've narrowed down to be a problem with PHP or Apache. Loading any sort of PHP page with a larger output (even such as a simple 'phpinfo' call) results in, depending on the computer or browser in use:
- The page loading for a split second then reverting to a DNS Server Not Found page (observed in IE)
- The page loading, but filling the source code with vast amounts of extra blank spaces, making a simple phpinfo call download 5+mb of HTML (observed in both IE and Firefox)
- The page loading part way, then hanging (observed in Firefox)
- Occasionally the page will reload over and over again all by itself until it ultimately goes to a DNS error page (observed in IE)
Pages not including PHP, including very long .HTML and .SHTML pages, load just fine.
Here's a link to a page calling a simple phpinfo string, and nothing else (as this is my first post, I can't link directly to URLs, sorry):

I am unable to create a user in mysql with 20 characters length. I am getting the annoying error message about 16 characters limitation about a username length. I have tried to increase the character user limit length to 32 characters using the following commands:
mysql -uroot -p
use mysql;
alter table `user` modify `User` CHAR(32);
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
quit
service mysqld restart
But after all of this was done I was and I am still unable to connect to mysql anymore with/without password.

I have two quick questions.
Question 1
I had a script create a backup of every file on my site using the following format "filename.php.bac". I want to delete these files now and I tired to use "rm *.bac" but that only deleted the files in the current directory. How can I delete ALL those files in EVERY directory and sub-directory starting at the public_html directory?
Question 2
How can I escape semi-colon's (;) in a perl script? I'm trying to run a search+replace script to update some Analytics code and I have a ton of files to update but for some reason if there is a semi-colon in the find varable, it assumes that it has reached the end of the contents in that variable.
Here is the code. Take a look at the $find variable and you will see extra semi-colon's. How do I tell the script to not treat those semi-colons as the end of the variable? .........

My Linux (CentOS) server with Plesk 12 is giving HTTP 414 errors ("URL too long") in response to URLs which are over 256 characters in length. They happen to include a GET variable in the query string which accounts for most of this length, and if I shorten it manually, it works. But I can't change the script to submit a shorter URL or send it by POST, because it comes from an external payment processing server which I don't control.
Adding the following lines to my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file and restarting Apache does not work:
LimitRequestLine 8190
LimitRequestFieldSize 8190
The URLs I'm trying to use are well short of 8190 bytes; they are around 800 characters long.
Is this something that Plesk affects / can control? Is there a way to see what the current maximum setting for URL length is, and to change it?

Over the last two weeks several individuals in different parts of the USA have noted extra characters in some web pages when on the att network.
The same server is sending out the same sites fine, when viewed on all other internet providers we have tested. We have also tested multiple browsers. Interestingly, if you use the secure layer - https, the site is fine, no extra characters.
Can any settings or anything on the server hosting software, etc, precipitate or stop this?

I have an odd problem... after transferring several hundred .php files to one of our servers we noticed that the browser was showing "?" output only.
When I open the file in "vi" (we're running centos 5.x), I can see this at the end of the file:
Code:
...
</HTML>
^@^@<?php //comment goes here ?>
-------------
I highlighted in red bold the problem text. If these four characters are removed from the file (edited out manually using vi) then the file displays and works correctly.
However.. there are several hundred of these files, and some have the problem and some don't.
I've tried everything I know to find which files contain the problem, but so far no luck.
ie:
grep -r "^@" .;
grep -r "^@" .;
Basically.. I need to find any instance of these characters and then remove them.

Server Version: Apache/2.2.22 (Unix)
On our production service, we've been getting numerous malformed POST requests to some of our CGI scripts that are showing up as 500 errors in our logs. They are malformed in the sense that the actual content length doesn't match the Content-Length specified in the request.
Here's the most trivial example I can come up with that reproduces the problem for us:
POST /some_valid_alias HTTP/1.1
Host: example.org
User-Agent: Arbitrary/1.0
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---------------------------41184676334
Content-Length: 769
-----------------------------41184676334
In addition to the 500 error in the access log, we see the corresponding error in the error log:
(70014)End of file found: Error reading request entity data
Based on the nature of the POST request and the error response, it does appear that Apache is doing the right thing here.
The POST never actually makes it as far as the script being targeted (/some_valid_alias in the above example); in other words, Apache returns 500 to the client, writes the error to the error log and never executes the script.
Is there a way to capture/avoid internal Apache errors like 70014, and return some other HTTP status besides 500 (like 403)? It's particularly annoying in our case, because our server sends us an email for all 500 errors.
So far, our best "defense" against these 500 errors is to disallow POST for these aliases, which normally just ignore the POST data anyway (when the request is not malformed):
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^POST$
RewriteRule ^/(some_valid_alias)(.*)$ $1$2 [R]
But this won't work for all our scripts, because in some cases we do want to permit POST.

I've had this problem a long time now with my hosting network and decided to ask here hoping I get some good solutions, or if someone is willing to looking at this (I'll pay if they want).
Here's what I mean:
[url]
Problem is as you can see apache processes constantly rise infinitely, at least until I restart apache (/etc/init.d/httpd restart). The point of restart is shown in red lines.
And after restart, it goes down again for X amount of hours then eventually rises again infinitely until it's restarted again.
But the fact that after restart it remains down, it means it had the potential to be down all along.
So my question is: what could be causing this and does anyone have solution to keep them low at all times (as per graphs)?

The Linux Server got down when the MaxClients 256 is reached.
Error Log:
"server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting"
So that I have tried to increased the MaxClients Value to 500, after changed the value in httpd.conf and restart I get following error message.
" [notice] SIGHUP received. Attempting to restart
WARNING: MaxClients of 500 exceeds ServerLimit value of 256 servers,
lowering MaxClients to 256. To increase, please see the ServerLimit
directive."
So that I tried changed the Server limit in /usr/local/apache/include/httpd.h header file. but it seems like there is no entry.
Apache Version : 2.2.8
So I have added the ServerLimit 500 entry in httpd.conf file and restart the httpd service. But still shows the same warning mesg. Please help me regarding this.
We have the Dedicated server for Flash Game Server with following configuration.
RHEL4 OS
2GB RAM
Intel(R) Xeon(R) X3210 @ 2.13GHz
Cpanel Installed.
Apache 2.2.8
PHP 5.2.4
