    Hello,

    I use a rewrite rule to forward requests to a directory in the public_html folder to my index.php file.

    So this:

    www.mysite.com/existingdirectory

    will be forwarded to my index.php file (and from there into my framework). A "not found page" will appear.

    Now I wonder, is it somehow possible that an apache module crashes? (and my directories will be visible)
    Or can something like that only happen if Apache itself crashes?

    I ask this question because I wonder if I should take precautions in case the rewrite module fails. I'd really rather not do this, but that is why I wonder if a module can crash spontaneously???

    Any thoughts on this subject?

    Apache as a whole can crash, but a single module not responding is unlikely. I have never heard of mod_rewrite crashing and the rest of Apache still functioning.
