apache2 issues
March 12, 2024, 16:07
I've got my directories autoindexed and working fine, but I cannot get jpgs or gifs to load. They all display 404.
now if i rename it with no extension
it works fine.
I have no idea what's causing this.
Check the read rights on files and directory
And check the log file /var/log/apache2
777
/var/log/apache2/error.log has no related entries.
there's lots of chatter.
none about the 404 i'm being served
log levels are set to debug, so i'd expect to see something
what's odd is that all other file types work.
well, all that i've tested
I've not tested video, but images seem to be the only issue.
root should never be owner to the files
www-data
?
probably
That is a common user www-data
i'll change it, but i don't think it's the cause due to the differing behavior
I agree
And what did the log say?
the log said nothing relating to the file
That is NOT the log, that is the log config
well i know that
I was showing you it was set to debug
And change the loglevel as it is debug now
change it to?
warning, error or info
i thought debug was the most verbose
yes, and you don't need that
And restart apache2
already did
And then use the browser på a image
and then check the log file
and post the output
you should see fetch/get of the image and the result of that operation
I would expect to see a GET
but i'm not
i set it to info btw
I cant see anything, my visual impairment don't work well with pictures of text
i'll copy paste
Yes please and use formatting
Nice!
i tried for /icons/a.gif
Thatr has nothing about a http session from a client
this is the error.log
should there be additional logging?
You are correct
i'm so smart.
that's sarcasm
anyway, yeah, there's another log. access.log
There you have GET /icons/ubuntu-logo
but it's like it's not even seeing my requests with .gif .png or .jpg
yeah
but that's not my issue
it used to be ubuntu-log.gif
i changed it to remove the extension
I know
and tested
i ran a 'cat * | grep gif ' against the mods-available, it had several hits against the autoindex configuration, and they were all for icons.
there was a reference in aliases, which i disabled because i thought maybe it was interfering.
issues persist
originally when the files were in /usr/share/www/icons the results were the same
pita.
I just installed apache2
can you load images?
Yes. I added Alias /icons/ /var/www/html/icons/ /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
Example
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
Alias /icons/ /var/www/html/icons/
And when I comment out the "Alias" it doesn't get the png file, error 404
I'm a bit rusty on apache was a couple years since I did "Hands on"
ok, so, to confirm you can do mysite.com/icons/a.gif and you do not get a 404?
however.
I use IP not DNS so I can't do that
go there
do you see a.gif?
indexed
Yes and I get a 404
that's not even in an /icons/ directory
it's in /public/
adding that alias should fix it?
Strange the mp3 could I access
it all works except images
Alias works for subdirectories to the DocumentRoot
So I suspect the indexing
as in the autoindexing feature is breaking it?
perhaps
in my shoes how would you approach this? stackexchange? or github problem report
hmmm
I could just disable the indexing.
Since I have no knowledge about autoindexing idk
hold on, let me try that
Is that a mod in Apache2?
yeah, there's a config for it, but i was just going to comment out the options line for that directory
same result
after reload
Stack exchange has probably someone that has knowledge on this topic
do you use other methods to host via http?
rather than apache
I have used nginx in the later years.
But I mostly make jump pages and status pages with data connections
I use nginx to reach this server.
not as a web host however
reverse proxy
Well that is the nice thing with open source, there are many roads to Rome
actually, on that note.
is there anything in nginx that would snag a forward and not pass it because it contained .jpg or .gif?
because I did note that apache didn't even acknowledge it got those requests
omg it isn't
that's why
it's not an apache issue
it's an nginx issue
Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.
Apache/2.4.57 (Debian) Server at generalkenobi2.duckdns.org Port 81
if i try to access /public/b
if i try to access /public/a.gif (which is actually there)
404 not found
number 2 being b.gif
totally different response
lol so you know nginx?
A bit
I think i found the issue. just trying to find where it is.
in the config
[root@docker-641bd6674e6e:/etc/nginx/conf.d/include]# cat assets.conf
location ~ ^.\.(css|js|jpe?g|gif|png|webp|woff|eot|ttf|svg|ico|css\.map|js\.map)$ {
if_modified_since off;
# use the public cache
proxy_cache public-cache;
proxy_cache_key $host$request_uri;
# ignore these headers for media

# cache 200s and also 404s (not ideal but there are a few 404 images for some reason)

# strip this header to avoid If-Modified-Since requests

proxy_cache_use_stale error timeout updating http_500 http_502 http_503 http_504 http_404;
proxy_connect_timeout 5s;
proxy_read_timeout 45s;
expires @30m;
access_log off;
include conf.d/include/proxy.conf;
bet this is it.
i fixed it.
had to remove those extensions from this assets config in the nginx proxy server
Thanks for making my brain think
and thank you for working with me.
Twice now.
MVP award.
Glad you made it
