Apache won't set headers for PHP script

Question

This .htaccess file:

    ExpiresActive On
    ExpiresDefault \"access plus 4 month\"



        

Answer 1

If PHP is running via mod_proxy_fcgi there might be no filesystem directory involved, hence no htaccess lookup can occur.

There is a more recent flavor of php+mod_proxy_fcgi now documented in the manual that uses SetHandler instead of ProxyPass -- that allows things like htaccess to be processed because the core actually looks up the URL in the filesystem as a first step.
