RE: 'Primary script unknown' into Apache logs

James Blond — Thu, 13 Aug 2026 10:40:02 GMT

First thought is to surround that with the "does the file exist" question.

Code:

<Location /php-status-www>
<If "-f %{REQUEST_FILENAME}">
SetHandler proxy:unix:/srv/run/php/www.sock|fcgi://localhost
</If>
</Location>

The other thought is: does it make sense to look for the requesting host and limit that. Like REMOTE_ADDR or REMOTE_HOST. Or require ip 10.1.0.0/16 or Require host example.org

See https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_authz_host.html#reqhost and https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/expr.html

Hi,

I�m not entirely sure how things are configured with my hosting provider.
What I do know is that the mod_proxy_fcgi.c module is loaded and that the Apache configuration (2.4.43) contains directives such as:

Code:

<Location /php-status-www>
SetHandler proxy:unix:/srv/run/php/www.sock|fcgi://localhost
</Location>

Sorry, I can't say any more than that.

The Handler is :

And, yes the saved file contains the PHP code.

It is a better solution to get a real 404 error. To do that you better check if that file exists.

Code:

<Files ~ "\.php$">
<If "-f %{REQUEST_FILENAME}">
SetHandler "proxy:fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000"
</If>

HOWTO: Securing Windows filesystem for Apache

tangent — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 13:39:27 GMT

Windows security is a constant cause for concern, with new issues and vulnerabilities being unearthed on a regular basis. However, one potential problem area that has been around for a long time is platform filesystem security (NTFS), and of interest to Apache Lounge users, how that relates to Apache installations.

This brief HowTo document discusses options for restricting access to the Apache installation, to circumvent unwanted access to the configuration and content.

By default, Apache Lounge builds are created and configured with a target directory of C:\Apache24, and it's left to the individual to create that directory and extract the binary distribution from an appropriate download archive.

One issue here is that by default, Windows grants modify access to Authenticated Users, to directories created under the C:\ root, so depending on your server platform, its configuration, and who can log on to your server, you may want to restrict access rights to Apache files, and limit them to local Administrators.

When you create a new C:\Apache24 directory, you can check the Discretionary Access Control Lists (DACLs) assigned to that object (in a command window) using the icacls command:

Code:

C:\>icacls C:\Apache24
C:\Apache24 BUILTIN\Administrators:(I)(OI)(CI)(F)
....

Reading through your post, and the various PHP compatibility issues you've found, you state:

Now that I have VS17 binary of Apache 2.4.68, there is no more compatibility error in Laragon.

I'm curious to know where you got this Apache 2.4.68 VS17 binary, since the Apache Lounge VS17 download page you reference stopped with a build of Apache 2.4.66 in Dec 2025.

Back in May, Steffen made the statement that he would no longer support VS17 developments, as discussed in post https://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=44331. That's why the VS17 link has been removed from the Downloads section.

That conversation covers potential issues with different versions of the MS redistributable package, admittedly in relation to Windows 7, but that might be relevant to your platform/package combination too.

Indeed, Microsoft provides an explicit statement covering binary compatibility (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/porting/binary-compat-2015-2017), although it's framed in terms of the MSVC toolset (v140 => v145, etc.) rather than the Visual Studio IDE version, e.g. VS16, VS17 ....

VS17 binaries 2.4.66 & later, because of imcompatibilty

Emphramla — Fri, 03 Jul 2026 23:03:03 GMT

I've been going around in circles and stopped after the 2nd trip, and here I am hoping there's a simple answer. My Apache setup is via Laragon in Windows 10 for WordPress development along with discussion forum either MyBB or UBB.Threads

I have been using Apache 2.4.62 VS17 and PHP 8.3 VS16, both 64-bit, and there have been no compatibility problem by PHP's VS16 with Apache's VS17.

I upgraded to Apache 2.4.68 VS18 when I saw the version number progress since .62. I also figured upgrading to PHP 8.4 would be good because of the length of time, but not 8.5 yet because it's so recent and there's the issue of WordPress plugins compatibility.

However, Laragon tells me that Apache 2.4.68 VS18 doesn't like PHP 8.4.22 VS17 because VS17 isn't compatible with VS18. The Apache Lounge site says the higher VS numbers are backwards compatible with the lower, and this cuckoo incompatibility didn't happen prior with Apache 2.4.62 VS17 and PHP 8.3 VS16, and also doesn't happen with Apache 2.4.68 VS18 and PHP 8.3 VS16.

The Apache Haus has VS17 binaries but those downloads are disabled/unavailable, so Apache Lounge is the only source but has only VS18. Is there something that can be put in a "conf" file or "ini" file for the compatibility to work???
