Apachectl status is broken with dokuwiki

damascene

I've setup dokuwiki with 404 for non existent pages, when I call server-status with this command:

apachectl status

I get some wired characters the last few lines from it are:

[ a+e+r+dd m+c+d+r+ a+l+c+f+hktm ]
   [ n+s+x+ q+d+y+m+tm ]
   [ Media Manager ]
   [ l+g+ ]
   [ x+r+y+tjtm m+w+q+e+ ]
   [ a+r+g+e+ l+l+aHe+l+j+ ]  
   m+a+l+m+ y+snr+ l+x+l+a+f+ dkl+k+,+ f+ahn+ a+l+m+hkt+w+j+ f+y+ h+dkh+

it seems it's getting Dokuwiki page does not exist. here how it looks in server log:

localhost - - [30/May/2012:05:22:14 +0300] "GET /server-status HTTP/1.1" 404 3524 "-" "Links (2.2; Linux 2.6.****)"

How do I fix that?

Hum, /server-status goes into DW... You must have activated some rewriterules in apache. Does it help if you add RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/server-status$ below the other rewriteconds in your apache config file as is suggested on http://www.dokuwiki.org/rewrite ?

...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}       !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}       !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/server-status$
...

no it does not. rules are like this in .htaccess

RewriteRule ^_media/(.*)              lib/exe/fetch.php?media=$1  [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^_detail/(.*)             lib/exe/detail.php?media=$1  [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^_export/([^/]+)/(.*)     doku.php?do=export_$1&id=$2  [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^$                        doku.php  [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}       !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}       !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/server-status$
RewriteRule (.*)                      doku.php?id=$1  [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^index.php$               doku.php

Hello,

That's strange. I made a quick tests with a copy/paste of your post in a .htaccess. apachectl status is broken without the rewritecond and is working when the rewritecond is there...

Anyway, during the tests, while playing with wget, I managed to create a file called server-status in the same directory as doku.php. This, prevented the rewrite mecanism and made apachectl status work, even without the rewritecond. So, you may try this hack : create an empty file named server-status in the directory that contains doku.php. That's ugly, but may work for you too.

Creating an empty file worked for me. Thanks
Any way, I wonder if I should report this as a bug, should I?

schplurtz

Glad it worked.

i think you should not report a bug. It's an apache problem, not a DW problem. perhaps, you can enhance the doc at http://www.dokuwiki.org/rewrite#some_notes .

done

though I'm still not convinced that this is an apache problem.

I'm pretty sure the leading slash must not be there, has anyone tried RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^server-status$ ?

damascene

Sorry for this, the rewrite condition works, I've put it in another wiki instance by mistake which prevented it from working. no need for the empty file.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/server-status$
