Invalid method in request

Asked by sunmacet in Apache Web Server, Linux Distributions

Tags: , , ,

Apache HTTP server error_log is getting lots of "Invalid method in request \xe3*" (* means any character). Also Apache HTTP server will restart multiple times while these error messages seems to occure. The request spamming might cause the restart or the increasing log entries might cause it (log rotation causes apache to restart?).

All http/https connections works fine however and VirtualHosts has :80.

So my question is what is this and how to fix it or where to look for more info relevant?Start Free Trial
