Hi,

I encountered a problem when I tried to install Apache 2.4.60 on Windows (Wampserver) to replace Apache 2.4.59.1.
Whatever the local url typed in any browser, for example 'http://localhost/', the index.php page was not displayed but downloaded under names such as 'uCqlH5WV'.
I'll skip the "cold sweat" generated!
After reading the changelog very carefully, I was able to see about SECURITY: CVE-2024-38476:
Note: Some legacy uses of the 'AddType' directive to connect a
request to a handler must be ported to 'AddHandler' after this fix.


So, after adding, in the httpd.conf file, in the <IfModule mime_module> section the line:
Code:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
things are back in order. Phew!

Does this mean I can or must delete the line?
Code:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Thanks a lot.

The "AddType" is from mod_mime to set the mime type. Aka what the browser gets as a response header.

Quote:
In addition, mod_mime may define the handler and filters that originate and process content. The directives AddHandler, AddOutputFilter, and AddInputFilter control the modules or scripts that serve the document. The MultiviewsMatch directive allows mod_negotiation to consider these file extensions to be included when testing Multiviews matches.

I am using Win32 Apache in a local legacy environment, and after updating from httpd-2.4.59 to httpd-2.4.60, PHP5.3.29 no longer works.
Is PHP5.3.29 no longer supported after httpd-2.4.60?

See above:

request to a handler must be ported to 'AddHandler' after this fix.

@Otomatic
I think you can remove addtype.

Hi,

I created an "addon Apache 2.4.61" installer for Wampserver in the same way as I did before Apache 2.4.60, i.e. without adding "AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php" in httpd.conf. The switch from version 2.4.59 -> 2.4.61 works perfectly.

Everything seems OK. Thank you.
