CSS/JS aggregates do not load: HTTP 500 errors when mod_lsapi is installed

Does it also happens when the site is in english?

Are you running as a virtual host? A personal web server on OS X? Can you see errors on your web server logs or on the browsers web console?

Look at #2619250: Make .htaccess usage work for the widest possible configurations without relaxing security and document pitfalls and the discussion in #1269780: Remove symlinks option from .htaccess after it was committed to see if they offer any clues.

Try to edit ../yourdrupal/sites/default/files/.htaccess. You should see something like

# Turn off all options we don't need.
Options -Indexes -ExecCGI -Includes -MultiViews

Delete '-Multiviews', save, and refresh your site. Hopefully that's it.

It does sound like a server permission/configuration issue linked to the changes in .htaccess .
If installing D7 on the same configuration do you have to make any changes to the default .htaccess, such as replacing 'FollowSymLinks' with 'SymLinksIfOwnerMatch'?

I have the same problem with Apache/mod_lsapi

The solution is to edit sites/default/files/.htaccess

And remove -ExecCGI
like this:

Options -Indexes -Includes -MultiViews

the error goes away.

I think this may be a bug with Drupal.
Maybe Drupal should use some kind if directive and place -ExecCGI in it.

Set priority to major because site does not work properly after fresh install.

@hejazee What happens HTML of your pages? Are there no CSS files included in the head section?

@cilefen, No, The html output is normal
The only problem is that all files in sites/default/files folder produce a 500 Internal server error.
No matter whether its a text file (with .txt extension) or a css or js file

The problem is inside sites/default/files folder
Because when I remove "-ExecCGI" everything is fixed.

I think it's not related with Drupal's process. because no PHP process is involved when accessing sites/default/files/file.txt

You can reproduce my problem by installing CloudLinux with Directadmin and this config:
Apache: mod_lsapi
Nginx reverse proxy

I had the same problem. After installing Drupal 8 on my host, the toolbar css wasn't showing up. The admin links were showing as a list and a lot of the options weren't available because files from /sites/default/files were returning a 500 error code; a lot of the theme wasn't displaying correctly.

I went to Administration > Configuration > Development > Performance and turned off Aggregate CSS files and Aggregate JavaScript files per @stickplow post, and the css and javascript started appearing. However, the home page is still logging a 500 error from the same directory for my site logo.

I have not yet changed the sites/default/files/.htaccess file to remove -MultiViews or -ExecCGI as suggested by comments #8 and #12 as I am not sure what removing either of those options does as of yet. From here I am referencing #2619250: Disabling -MultiViews in .htaccess can cause 500 errors about -MultiViews.

Edit

I was not having any luck after deleting the -ExecCGI option from the .htaccess file. However, I did comment out the Options line #Options -Indexes -Includes -MultiViews and suddenly the files were all accessible through Drupal. I was even able to turn the Aggregate CSS and JavaScript options back on in Administration > Configuration > Development > Performance.

Clarifying based on #12.

#15: Can you please confirm that you also use mod_lsapi? Or some other special Apache mods?

@all: Can you please check whether image styles work for you? If CSS/JS aggregates don't work, image styles likely also won't work. They use the same mechanism.

@WimLeers: My phpinfo() shows

Additional Modules
Module Name
sysvshm

Is that what you were looking for?

That's PHP. We're talking about Apache modules.

i have the same problem,my server is centos 7.2.1511,php 7.0.3,and directadmin 1.5

I had the same issue. Somehow I had the config .htaccess file and README file insides sites/default (as well as sites/default/config). I may have done this accidentally. Once I removed the .htaccess in sites/default it fixed this problem for me.

Same issue here, can fix it by removing -ExecCgi and -Includes from .htaccess Options line in default/files/.htaccess.

But I dont understand the other consequences. These things are there for a reason, I assume? Can anyone explain?

What is better: disabling aggregation in config, or tweaking htaccess with unknown consequences ?

Background: Im on a shared hosting service "1und1.de", I have created a testing-stage / multi-site environment yesterday and have played around with config-sync and sql-sync (from prod to testing). After that played around with the testing's configuration (theme, removed language-module).

Any more info on this one, I can't Aggregate JS without my slideshow images disappearing and my mobile burger menus ceasing to open.
I've removed the line:
Options -Indexes -ExecCGI -Includes -MultiViews

from my sites/default/files htaccess

but that didn't change anything
I can fix it by not Aggregating my JS in Performance settings, but I do want to Aggregate my JS...?

Localhost (via MAMP on mac): works fine
cPanel shared server: Aggregate JS causes Slide images and Burger menu to stop working

Any help would be appreciated

What are the browser console errors?

Given this seems to be isolated to certain server setups, reclassifying this as a support request

If we can get steps to reproduce happy to move it back

If you are using Directadmin, the simplest solution is to enable CGI Access for your user account.
when `enable CGI Access` checkbox is checked, the ExecCGI flag in the .htaccess, will not trigger that errors.

Anyway, the ultimate solution is to check the webserver's logs to find the actual problem. most of these problems are caused by a misconfigured webserver.

There is no code to review.

No new information has been posted.

hey,

default drupal css aggregation is trowing this error
CGI acccess is on ...
Removed htaccess from files folder

But still error

[Tue Dec 13 16:01:59.721915 2022] [lsapi:error] [pid 147647:tid 140526170867456] [client 2a02:1807:4700:f00:34ae:47a2:8ca1:7474:58814] ] Error on sending request(GET /nl HTTP/1.1); uri(/index.php) content-length(0): ReceiveAckHdr: nothing to read from backend (LVE ID 1081), check http://docs.cloudlinux.com/mod_lsapi_troubleshooting.html

Hosting party won't fix or look for it

Anyone idea?

The problem will be resolved by
replacing 'FollowSymLinks' with 'SymLinksIfOwnerMatch' in 2 files :
drupal_root/.htaccess
drupal_root/sites/default/files/advagg_js/.htaccess
