Bug error 404 : the server sends a 404 error and the page is working correctly

[montuy337513]

A funny bug, with the News module. Maybe with other modules too.

On any page of the site (front / back), the server returns me a 404 error header. The pages are displayed correctly. Some JS functionality is disrupted. Example: Activate / deactivate a module in the "Module manager". For the changes to show, I have to reload the page. Another example: the notification bubble that appears with a late page.

Here is the screenshot of my console

The fault is the /preloads/index.php file If I delete it, I find my headers 200

I think the Core loads all the PHP files present in / preloads. Including the index.php which asks the server to send a 404 header. The page is displayed correctly, if we did not work with an open console next to it. We can miss the problem.

Recommendations:

• delete the file /preloads/index.php Where
• Modify the function of the Core which manages the / preloads. To exclude index.php files (provided that no dev has created a /preloads/index.php file with important functions) And check in all modules that have a / preloads directory for the presence and content of the /preloads/index.php file

Interesting problem.  The core XoopsPreload::setPreloads() method does check for index and discards it.  The issue must be somewhere else.  Can you tell us which version of XOOPS you're using?

The latest version for production : Xoops 2.5.10 Final. I tested by removing 1 by 1 all index.php. It is only /preloads/index.php that causes this error.
