MY NEEDS

To serve php code in html file

WHAT I DID

I added "AddType application/x-httpd-php .html" in the php module mime define:

<IfModule mod_mime.c>
     AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
     AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
     AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
     AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
     AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
     AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>

and commented out html in mime.types:

#text/html                      html htm
text/html                       htm

RESULTS

I can serve php code in html pages.

ERRORS

Whenever i browse for a non-existent page with extension .php .phtml .php3 .php4 .html .phps i got a 404
error not found from apache and a "script not found or unable to stat" in apache log errors.

EXAMPLE

browsing http://www.vhost1.com/existent.php (.html, .php3, .php4,...)

--> see the page on my browser
--> see the access log in logs/vhost1/access_log
--> all fine

browsing http://www.vhost1.com/non-existent.php (.html, .php3, .php4,...)

--> see 404 page on my browser
--> see "GET /non-existent.php HTTP/1.1" 404 210 "-" in logs/vhost1/access_log
--> see nothing in logs/vhost1/error_log (i might see "page not found"..)
--> see "script not found or unable to stat" in my general apache2 error logs


It is also a strange log entry, cause a normal entry would be:

[Sat Mar 13 12:01:23 2004] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] script not found or unable to stat

and generally i could see also the referer error' script but i see only:

script not found or unable to stat


The other strange is that:

Apache has begun to crash when restarted since these log errors has appered.
It occurs randomly, and i can't reproduce the crash systematically.

The only i can show is:

Normal restart:

Seems apache doesn't start to spawn his threads.

This is from apache conf:

<IfModule prefork.c>
StartServers         5
MinSpareServers      5
MaxSpareServers     10
MaxClients         150
MaxRequestsPerChild  0
</IfModule>

Yes, i use that for apache'process.

When this occurs, i try to kill, stop, start, restart the daemon, but nothing works.
The only solutions is reboot the system.



I search a lot around the web from a similar occurrence, but i don't found nothing interensting.

Can u help me someway?

Thanks in advance

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip

ok, i downloaded http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-200403150230.tar.bz2, and installed it, but i get the same results.

Addition:
i upgrade my kernel to 2.4.25 from 2.4.24 two days ago, and apache doesn't crash for now.

Still remains the problem about .html .php .php3 .php4 process that give the error "no script found or unable to stat" when the file doesn't exist.

Tnx
