Websites stopped working after upgrade to latest release 1.3.9

**Koren** · Dec 18th 2016

Hi,

I noticed some of my clients complained about websites, that are not working properly, after the recent upgrade to the version 1.3.9 of I-MSCP.
We have a number of sites, that use mod_rewrite to modify url patterns on their wordpress based blogs. Some of them doesn't work anymore.

If we rewrite URLs, that use .php at the end, they don't work anymore and throw an error 404:

Example:

Code

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Now we have the URL http://www.domain.tld//3-main-tipps.php which throw an error 404. (Previously, using I-MSCP 1.3.0 that website was able to load correctly).
I assume, it is becasue in the apache configuration the .php extension is now rewritten to the fcgi handler and overrides the .htaccess of the customer.

Is there a workarround for this ?

Best regards

Koren

My wordpress with the following htaccess:

Code

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
# Wordfence WAF
<Files ".user.ini">
<IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
Require all denied
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</IfModule>
</Files>
# END Wordfence WAF

Works perfectly with changes made in i-MSCP version 1.3.9 regarding mod_proxy_fcgi_handler (rewrite rule that is responsible to enable fcgi handler only when the PHP script exists).

Warning: Issue related to i-MSCP apache2_php_fpm httpd server implementation only (with mod_proxy_fcgi)

Howto repropduce the issue

Set custom permalink (Permalink settings) such as /%post_id%-%postname%.php
Create a new post with main-tipps as title

Try to browse URL: http://domain.tld/24-main-tipps.php

Note that the ID can differs on your installation.

Result

Default i-MSCP 404 page is displayed

Expected result

Newly created Wordpress post should be displayed

How to fix

Edit the Apache2 vhost file of the domain and add RewriteOptions Inherit to end with something as follow:

Code

...
RewriteEngine on
RewriteOptions Inherit
<FilesMatch \.ph(p[3457]?|t|tml)$>
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule .* - [H=proxy:fcgi://domain.tld,NC]
</FilesMatch>
...

Once done, reload apache2: service apache2 reload

Will be fixed in next version.

A fix has been added in the 1.3.x branch. See https://github.com/i-MSCP/imsc…74cedc2820ff152ca0222d48f
This fix will be part of next i-MSCP version.

Thank you for your report.

Thank you very much for your work The solution works perfectly!
I don't know WHY that client used that stuff with .php extensions for mod_rewrite rule. But i guess he will be happy when we deploy that fix.

Best regards
