I've been running Apache on my local computer for years. Suddenly, any request to a local page that is not found, is redirected to http://origin.domain.com/. What could cause this?

Just to be clear, I open:

http://localhost/this_page_does_not_exists.html

And I am being forwarded to:

http://origin.domain.com

I tested this in Firefox, Chrome, and even in Lynx, and it happens all the same. Using Apache 2.2.22, on Arch Linux.

We would need to see your Apache configuration file. But I have a feeling this question should be on serverfault. – MaxMackie Feb 13 '12 at 17:56

This question cannot be answered without knowing the Apache configuration. – Gilles Feb 17 '12 at 8:38
Additionally, it would be helpful if you would post the results of a manual HTTP conversation with the server. – Warren Young Feb 17 '12 at 10:08

This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet.

You could check :

  • your routing tables to localhost host
  • your /etc/hosts file
  • your access/error Apache log and see if the request gets in Apache, or forwarder by the OS beforehand

Turned out to be .htaccess file of the directory above the one in question. – user1162541 Feb 18 '12 at 3:22
