Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Ryan Kolak]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910

Newly installed apache with php support. I'm not quite certain that this is a
Mozilla bug but in all the troubleshooting I have done, it appears to be.

As far as I can tell, Apache is completely configured to handle php files
correctly, however Mozilla downloads the file, rather then executes it. 

This may be some combination of the errors within php/apache/mozilla, but the
fact that it only manifests itself within Mozilla made me post a bug report here.

Apache is configured with:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php3 index.php

http://home.rkware.com/phpmyadmin/index.php  - loads fine under Mozilla and IE.
http://home.rkware.com/phpmyadmin/  - Loads under IE, Mozilla downloads.
http://home.rkware.com/phpmyadmin   - Loads under IE, Mozilla downloads.

I'll do some more research on this, and I'm not ruling out some misconfiguration
locally (recent major upgrade on the server) and I'll gladly withdraw the bug
report if that proves to be the case. 

My current guess is Mozilla is somehow requesting the actual redirect
differently then IE somehow...



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Observere http://home.rkware.com/phpmyadmin/index.php in IE and Mozilla
2. Observere http://home.rkware.com/phpmyadmin/ in IE
3. Observere http://home.rkware.com/phpmyadmin/ in Mozilla

Actual Results:  
Mozilla downloads the php file... 

Expected Results:  
IE displays the rendered version.

now, works from a different machines at home, (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows
NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910). Will see if this issue continues
tomorrow from the machine in the office. Perhaps some strange cache issue.

Pardon the distraction.

Office machine continued to exhibit the behavior. Verified that the downloaded
page was in fact the unprocessed php page. Cleared Memory Cache. Problem
persists. Cleared disk cache. Page loads correctly. 

Most likely, this page was cached when the server was misconfigured, but was not
being verified. My cache setting is at the default: 'When page is out of date'.

This may be the desired behavior. Withdrawing bug report, but will watch for
similar behaviors to see is something isn't working correctly. 

Marking as invalid.
