Summary: Improve error message: "pcfg_openfile: unable to check
htaccess file, ensure it is readable"
Product: Apache httpd-2.0
Version: 2.0.54
Platform: All
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Keywords: ErrorMessage
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
Component: Runtime Config
AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
ReportedBy: apinstein@mac.com
During a recent install of awstats there was a config problem which manifested itself via this error
message:
Permission denied: /opt/showcase/awstats/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file,
ensure it is readable
The error message is a little misleading, as it implies that .htaccess exists and is not readable. There is
no .htaccess file in that location. However, /opt/showcase/awstats was chmod 700 and thus httpd
couldn't CHECK to see if the .htaccess file was there.
The error message would be more helpful if it said:
Permission denied: <path> pcfg_openfile: unable to check for existence of htaccess file or read it if it
does exist; make sure <path> is readable by httpd.
Something along those lines. Since the message implied that .htaccess existed, it really threw me for a
loop trying to figure out the problem.
