Weblogic Bridge Message - Failure of server APACHE bridge:

Question

Here in this case, when a client is trying to access a particular URI, they are able to get a SUCCESS response for GET, but for the POST message, they are recieving a 500 error. Which is nothing but INTERNAL SERVER ERROR.

please look at the ERROR below:

Weblogic Bridge Message

Failure of server APACHE bridge:

---

Cannot open TEMP post file '/tmp/_wl_proxy/_post_1818_8' for POST of 3978 bytes

---

Weblogic Bridge Message

Failure of server APACHE bridge:

---

Internal Server failure, APACHE plugin.  Cannot continue.

Eventually this was resolved after giving a 777 permission to /tmp/_wl_proxy and the client was able to access the page SUCCESSFULLY. If this is a permission issue, then apache should throw 403 error, but i dont know why it was throwing 500 error.

if there is a internal server error, then both GET and POST response should be 500, So if anyone can answer this , it would be a great learning experience. Thanks..!!

Answer 1

You many not want to give Write to all (777) permission to /tmp/_wl_proxy directory. Check which userID apache is running under and only give writer permission to that userID.

This could be also with tmp directory full.
