Question

multiple redirects with favicon crashing apache, using PHP5 and Kohana

Answer 1

A:

.htaccess i guess. redirecting a favicon in php code would be crazy imo.

edit:

just tested this .htacces and it works perfectly (ko3)

# Turn on URL rewriting
RewriteEngine On

# Installation directory
RewriteBase /

# Protect hidden files from being viewed
<Files .*>
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny From All
</Files>
RewriteRule ^(.+/)favicon.ico$ favicon.ico

# Protect application and system files from being viewed
RewriteRule ^(?:application|modules|system)\b - [F,L]

# Allow any files or directories that exist to be displayed directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# Rewrite all other URLs to index.php/URL
RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT]

Answer 2

A:

Find the .htaccess file that contains the rewrite rules. It seems to be triggering a recursive rewrite.

EDIT:

Try changing your rule to this:

RewriteRule ^(.+/)favicon\.ico$ favicon.ico [L]

That should halt the recursive rewrite.

Try that, see if it works.

it still does it multiple times, but instead of going favicon.ico/favicon.ico/favicon.ico/ and so on, it stays at /favicon.ico, thanks.the reason it does it multiple times is prob an error in my code

My rewrite-fu isn't good enough to deduce why you're getting multiple requests, but the [L] stops a recursive request.
