Description

[Robert Kaiser]

We intermittently get HTTP error 500 on www.seamonkey-project.org

<nagios> pm-web01:http_string_no_follow - www.seamonkey-project.org is CRITICAL: HTTP CRITICAL: HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error

<reed> maybe affected by the upgrade of pm-web01 last night?
<justdave> yeah, fault of the upgprade is quite likely
<justdave> probably getting a different backend server and one of them's broken
<justdave> yes, it's pm-web01
<justdave> [Wed Feb 13 13:30:53 2008] [alert] [client 10.2.80.4] /data/www/www.seamonkeyproject.org/.htaccess: Option MultiViews not allowed here, referer: http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/Programmi
<justdave> reed: what'd you guys do to fix that on mozilla.org?  it got bit by that, too, IIRC
<reed> I didn't do anything, but I think oremj just had to allow everything instead of a specific list... maybe an apache problem/bug?
<justdave> the existing config was allowing everything, but Apache 2.2 doesn't include MultiViews as part of "All" anymore

Dave and I fixed.

Comment 2

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

The fix was:

-        AllowOverride FileInfo Options Indexes
+        AllowOverride FileInfo Options=All,MultiViews Indexes

Options defaults to All, but Apache 2.2 doesn't include MultiViews as part of All.
