Subject: apache2-common: wrong behaviour when downloading .php files using webdav and
 mod_dav

Package: apache2-common
Version: 2.0.49-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I recently upgraded from apache1 to apache2, mainly due the fact that
apache2 is needed for subversion.

Anyway, I use mod_dav to access the files on my virtual hosts, but I
experienced this bad behaviour: when I download a .php file, the source
is not downloaded but instead it seems like the output of the php
processing is taken, as if it was a normal http request.

The same configuration worked well with apache1 and mod_dav.

Here is an excerpt of my config:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName mysite.com

  <Location />
    Dav On
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Auth Required"
    AuthUserFile users.basic
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    <Limit DELETE PROPFIND PROPPATCH MKCOL COPY MOVE LOCK UNLOCK>
      Require user myuser
    </Limit>
  </Location>

</VirtualHost>

package apache2-common
severity 257945 wishlist
reassign 257945 libapache2-mod-php4
thanks

Ok. so, you're reporting a bug that basically says "when i request a PHP
page, it gets processed by PHP".=20
It seems that the real bug you're reporting is, 'php should deactivate
itself during dav requests', which is why I'm dropping this to wishlist and
reassigning to PHP, which is where it belongs.
I strongly recommend that you go and re-read the description of severity
levels at bugs.debian.org; and also that you think about setting up a
different virtual host for uploads and turning off php for that.
Cheers,
-Thom

reassign 257945 apache2-common
thanks

<infinity> thom : Also, I'm thinking I should bounce that dav bug back
to you.
<infinity> thom : dav_svn DTRT and serves the source, so why can't dav?
<thom> which one?
<thom> oh, right
<thom> dav_svn DTRT with php4 loaded?
<infinity> Yup.
<infinity> Confirmed today at work.
<thom> interesting, so it must remove all other handlers
<infinity> Which would make sense.
<thom> i guess so, yes
<thom> ok, ping it back to me at wishlist :-)
<infinity> Done.

... Adam
