I am using Linux in Azure ( Ubuntu 16.04.06 LTS ) and I am trying to enable Apache status. However, after I enable the status module, when I go to http://localhost/server-status I get an error
$ wget http://localhost/server-status/
--2020-02-27 20:58:26-- http://localhost/server-status/ Resolving localhost (localhost)... 127.0.0.1 Connecting to localhost (localhost)|127.0.0.1|:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 500 Internal Server Error 2020-02-27 20:58:26 ERROR 500: Internal Server Error.
When I look at the apache error.log I get a message about too many internal redirects
[Thu Feb 27 20:58:26.451285 2020] [core:error] [pid 86787] [client 127.0.0.1:51734] AH00124: Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.
I used the standard command : sudo a2enmod status to enable the service and then rebooted apache. I am also using the default config file:
---- status.conf ---
<IfModule mod_status.c> # Allow server status reports generated by mod_status, # with the URL of http://servername/server-status <Location /server-status> SetHandler server-status #Require ip 192.0.2.0/24 Require local </Location> # Keep track of extended status information for each request ExtendedStatus On <IfModule mod_proxy.c> # Show Proxy LoadBalancer status in mod_status ProxyStatus On </IfModule> </IfModule>
---- status.conf ---
I do have a redirect in place for all http traffic, but there is an exception for local host traffic.
--- default.conf ---
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost DocumentRoot /var/www/html RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^localhost [NC] RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^127\.0\.0\.1$ RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule (.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L] # Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn, # error, crit, alert, emerg. # It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular # modules, e.g. #LogLevel info ssl:warn ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined </VirtualHost>
--- default.conf ---
I know the above config is not redirecting to https, I have tested this without the exception and I get a completely different message telling me the secure certificate doesn't match.
There is an .htaccess file in the default directory, but it looks pretty clean
--- .htaccess ---
RewriteEngine on \n RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . index.php RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/favicon.ico$ Options -Indexes <Files deploy> Order allow,deny deny from all </Files>
--- .htaccess ---
Does anyone have any experience with this functionality in Azure? Is this still something in configuration that I am missing? Or does this simply not work in Azure due to some other configuration issue? like could this be an Azure networking issue?
I appreciate any help.
