The web server seems to be lagging. Allowing .htaccess download periodically, sometimes an error will occur server side (or so I suspect) and the web server will begin serving pages that I did not request or that were previously requested (even if I explicitly demand index.php I will be served some other non-related page) overall it's a very worrisome behavior.
Can anyone give some clues?

Answer 1

To prevent downloading of .ht* files (ex .htaccess/.htpasswd) you have to add this line to your config
location ~ /\.ht { access_log off; log_not_found off; deny all; }
Please define your occurrently error more accurate without defined error messages it's impossible to give you some advice.
