Unintended behavior in .htaccess r934
0%
Description
I believe the head version of public/.htaccess has a bug causing the dispatch.cgi to have precedence over dispatch.fcgi
when both modules are installed because of the order of the RewriteRule directives.
<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_cgi.c>
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.cgi [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
This will always cause the URL to be rewritten to dispatch.cgi whenever mod_cgi is installed. I assume that you would
likely want fcgi over cgi when available, so the cgi rewrite should move to the top of the list, as in:
<IfModule mod_cgi.c>
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.cgi [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
I'm not sure if fastcgi or fcgid would be more preferred, but that order can also easily change.

My understanding of apache config is that the current version of .htaccess should use (if present and in this order): fastcgi, fcgid and cgi.
I'm closing this issue because of it's age, please open a new issue and relate it to this one if this still is a problem.
