I asked a forum to comment on my web site and one of the users there reported that his Norton Firewall (Using Firefox 1.0) blocked access to my web site stating "Raq_Apache_dot_htaccess" which was claiming that I was attempting to intrude in his computer. Of course I am not doing any such thing so I began to investigate. When searching for information about this threat it became clear that the original problem was related directly to Cobalt RAQ servers, as I am running FreeBSD 4.7 I was a bit confused. I delved further into the RAQ problem and it pointed out some code which should be in the httpd.conf file, so I have checked and ensured that this code was in place: Order allow,deny Deny from all Satisfy All I have restarted Apache and checked that the .htaccess file can no longer been seen from the browser, I then asked the guy to retest and he is still getting the same problem. So I had no choice but to go out and buy a copy of Norton, I installed it, made sure the software was fully up to date. I then rebooted the machine and called the web site up in a variety of browsers and I cannot get the same problem! I know that the person who reported this is not messing about as he has sent me screenshots of the pop-up by Norton so I am basically stumped now. Has anyone else on FreeBSD had this issue and found a fix? The web site is in the signature if anyone on the list has Norton Firewall and can see if they can replicate the problem. My machine is FreeBSD 4.7 running PHP 4.3.9 on Apache 1.3 I have root access to the machine but cannot upgrade BSD, only install ports etc. The only time I use .htaccess on the web site is for Mod Rewrite which is not doing anything special.
