Bug Reporting
|
Reports of security issues should not be made here.
Please see the security report page
if you have concerns or think you have discovered a security hole in
the Apache Web server software.
|
If you have identified a bug in the Apache HTTP Server,
please fill out a problem report form and submit it.
Before you do that, though, make sure you
have done all of the following:
- Verified that the bug exists in
the most recent version
of Apache.
- Followed the instructions in the
INSTALL file correctly
- Tried compiling with only the distributed set of modules and with
no other patches (so that we can make sure it's an Apache bug and
not a bug in a module or patch provided by someone else). It is
frustrating to take time and effort to track down a problem only
to figure out that it is caused by a broken third party module.
- Looked at the error log. Please include any related messages in your
report, or state that there are none.
- Checked the FAQ.
- Searched the bug
report database. When you are doing this, you should be sure to
search closed problem reports in addition to open ones. The search
form on the main bugzilla page by default applies only to open
reports; to search all bug reports, begin the search with the keyword
"ALL". For example, the following search will find all reported
proxy bugs in Apache 2.0: "ALL httpd-2.0 mod_proxy". Some helpful
queries:
Unless you are sure that you have found a bug in the Apache HTTP
Server, we strongly recommend that you try the Apache HTTP Server Users List before using
the bug database. If you don't receive a response within a few
days, then please submit it to the Apache bug database. If it's a
known issue, you'll probably get a faster response from the mailing
list and you will help keep developer time free for improving
Apache. Most bug reports submitted are actually user configuration
problems that could be easily fixed by asking on the mailing
list.
Do not post to the mailing list and submit a bug
report at the same time. This wastes everyone's time.
Post to the mailing list and wait a few days before submitting a bug report.

If you have done all of the preceding, then please select the button
below and fill out the form. We will respond to it as soon as we can.
-
Do NOT send configuration questions or requests for help debugging CGI!
-
If you're tracing spam or you're here because one of your favourite Web
sites now says 'It Worked! Apache is installed!' -- then contact the
mail originator or the Web site's Webmaster directly, because they're
just using our software and we have nothing to do with them. Don't
waste your time, or ours, by telling us about it.
|
Use the links below to submit bug reports:
- Apache Bug Database.
The appropriate Bugzilla projects for Apache HTTPD are "Apache httpd-1.3"
and "Apache httpd-2.0".
- Old Apache Bug Database.
You may look at our old Apache Bug Database, but it will not be
kept up to date or maintained. Please submit new bugs to the
Bugzilla database.
