    <p>I have an Apache server running WordPress in the web root (<code>/var/www/html</code>). In my access_log I have been seeing many entries of the form:</p> <pre><code>98.209.16.114 - - [15/Feb/2013:21:19:51 -0500] "GET http://www.twitter.com HTTP/1.1" 301 - "-" "curl/7.28.1" 98.209.16.114 - - [15/Feb/2013:21:19:51 -0500] "GET http://www.twitter.comhttp/www.twitter.com HTTP/1.1" 301 - "-" "curl/7.28.1" 98.209.16.114 - - [15/Feb/2013:21:19:51 -0500] "GET http://www.twitter.comhttphttp/www.twitter.comhttp/www.twitter.com HTTP/1.1" 301 - "-" "curl/7.28.1" 98.209.16.114 - - [15/Feb/2013:21:19:52 -0500] "GET http://www.twitter.comhttphttphttp/www.twitter.comhttphttp/www.twitter.comhttp/www.twitter.com HTTP/1.1" 301 - "-" "curl/7.28.1" </code></pre> <p>where <code>www.twitter.com</code> can be replaced with any number of odd domains external to my own.</p> <p>EDIT: the copied lines include curl because I was testing this phenomenon from my own command line.</p> <p>The pertinent lines in my <code>httpd.conf</code> file are:</p> <pre><code>NameVirtualHost *:80 &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt; DocumentRoot /var/www/html ServerName www.mydomain.com &lt;Directory /var/www/html&gt; AllowOverride All &lt;/Directory&gt; &lt;/VirtualHost&gt; &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt; ServerName mydomain.com RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [L,R=301] &lt;/VirtualHost&gt; </code></pre> <p>and the <code>.htaccess</code> file in the WordPress directory looks like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt; RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] &lt;/IfModule&gt; </code></pre> <p>This happens tens of times per day. A few questions I have are:</p> <ul> <li>Should I be worried about so many proxy attempts? I've turned off mod_proxy and while http requests are looping, https requests seem to return either <code>301</code> or <code>400</code></li> <li>Is there any sort of performance loss I should be worried about?</li> <li>How do I fix the darn thing?</li> </ul> <p>Let me know what other information you need.</p>

    1. COHave you tried disabling plugins? It doesn't look like the problem is with Apache configuration or rules unless there are more not included in the question because you are talking about `mod_proxy`, `https`, etc. Where are those rules?.

    2. COGood thoughts. I've turned off mod_proxy, but there are plenty of other modules that are still turned on that probably don't need to be. I'm not too suspect of them though because my other web server has a nearly identical configuration. The only variable is the WordPress .htaccess file, but like you said it seems fine. @___@

    3. COyou are using the default virtualhost directory Root. But the default virtualhost is maybe runng also. give us the result of apache2 -S or httpd -S, the list of active virtualhostAnd maybe the config of these other virtualhosts

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
