Known bugs/problems with the
Apache
HTTP Server

Version 0.6.4

  1. As with NCSA 1.3 (and 1.4 ?), some HEAD requests on directories without an index.html fail to be logged... harmless.
  2. Typo in Virtual Host #defines (accidentally defined #VIRUAL_HOST"). 0.6.4b fixes this.

Version 0.6.2 (first beta)

  1. Apache error_log might show httpd: caught SIGBUS, dumping core after a successful redirect. We hope to fix this in 0.6.3

  2. If you see a lot of messages such as, 

    access to /something: failed for foo.bar.com, reason: no multi in this directory
    in your error log, don't panic !. It means "File not found", and we will fix it sooner or later.

  3. WARNING: Apache logs all URLs redirected from and to. This isn't bug, it's deliberate, but you should be aware of it. It's a recognition of the fact that the Common Log File format doesn't have any place to log the real object that was returned for the internally redirected request. This will be changed soon.

  4. BSDI problems: One of the test machines (Hyperreal) has noticed "flocks" of child processes sucking up large amounts of resources when moderately hit (on a Pentium 90 running 1.1 serving ~2 hits/second). Killing and restarting the daemon helps this disappear - it's being investigated, it might be a kernel bug, but then every server developer likes to say that. Let us know how well it works for you if you are using BSDI and have a high number of hits.
