Apache 2.2.0 Not serving .js , .css and image files

#1 (**permalink**) 03-21-2006

I just installed 2.2.0 with php5.1.2. None of the js, css and image
files are getting included on my pages. I looked at the access_log and
requests to these files show all 200. So went into shell and used GET
on one of the css files, response was 200 again but no content.

This is driving me crazy, I re-comlided the server at least 5 times. I
suspect it is some sorf of a permission issue but can't figure it out..
Files have the right permissions. One think I should mention, when put
the full path to an image on the browser it displays the path to that
image instead of rendering the image..

Thank you in advance,
Ojeez

The pages you did request - were those static pages or dynamically
generated ones?

Is there a byte size logged in the access log for your images/css/etc.?

thanks for the reply Robert,

these are ll static pages, I include them in the <head> tags with href
or src attribute.
I do not see the byte size information but, I expect it to be 0 since
when I did a GET in shell I got nothing back.

thanks
Ey

I had this exact same problem a few weeks back and was sooo frustrated
not to be able to find anyone to share my pain. I didn't find a
solution other than rolling back to Apache 2.0.55 which works just
fine.

This was all on my RHEL3 VPS. I did the exact same 2.2.0 compile on a
RHEL3 system at work and it works fine so I guess there must be
something about the setup on the VPS machine which is screwey.

I have just had another stab at this. I'm still getting the same odd
behaviour but looking in the acces_log I see error code 206 for each
image. This error is described as follows:

"206 Partial Content

The server has fulfilled the partial GET request for the resource. The
request MUST have included a Range header field indicating the desired
range, and MAY have included an If-Range header field to make the
request conditional.

I'm really none the wiser... Anyone have any ideas?

I have just had another stab at this. Following a fresh compile of
Apache 2.2.0 I'm still getting the same odd behaviour but looking in
the access_log I see error code 206 for each image. This error is
defined as follows:

"206 Partial Content

request MUST have included a Range header field indicating the desired
range, and MAY have included an If-Range header field to make the
request conditional.

OK success! I upped the loglevel to "debug" in httpd.conf. When trying
to access images the following messages appeared in error_log:

(38)Function not implemented: core_output_filter: writing data to the
network

A google search later and I found the following explanation of this
error:

"Apache uses the sendfile syscall on platforms where it is available in
order to speed sending of responses. Unfortunately, on some
systems, Apache will detect the presence of sendfile at compile-time,
even when it does not work properly. This happens most frequently when
using network or other non-standard file-system.
Symptoms of this problem include the above message in the error log
and zero-length responses to non-zero-sized files. The problem
generally occurs only for static files, since dynamic content usually
does not make use of sendfile.
To fix this problem, simply use the EnableSendfile directive to disable
sendfile for all or part of your server. Also see the EnableMMAP, which
can help with similar problems."

After setting "EnableSendfile off" in httpd.conf and restarting httpd
it works as it should.
