Package: apache2-common Version: 2.0.48-8 Severity: normal When installing an apache2 mpm, the default document root is /var/www. This is correct, but apache2-common doesn't put anything into /var/www, other than the apache2-default subdirectory. People who then use apache see a directory list, and get the "if you see this, the installation of apache was successful" page if they go into the apache2-default subdirectory.
Apache2-common should put at least an index.html into /var/www. Obviously, you'll need to figure out how to get apache-common and apache2-common to co-exist happily, with both wanting to put files into /var/www. Another alternative (and preferred, imo) is to split apache2-common and apache-common out further; right now they contain both arch specific binaries and arch-independant files. Why not make an apache-files (or apache-data) package that contains the various icons (I'm not sure how different /usr/share/apache2/icons is from the apache1 icons) and /var/www files, and have the apache-common and apache2-common packages contain binaries and apache-version-specific scripts? Both apache-common and apache2-common could depend upon apache-files. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.4-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages apache2-common depends on: ii debconf 1.4.18 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.8 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libapr0 2.0.48-8 The Apache Portable Runtime ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdb4.2 4.2.52-16 Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries [ ii libexpat1 1.95.6-8 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libldap2 2.1.26-1 OpenLDAP libraries ii libmagic1 4.07-2 File type determination library us ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7d-1 SSL shared libraries ii mime-support 3.26-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii net-tools 1.60-9 The NET-3 networking toolkit ii openssl 0.9.7d-1 Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary a ii ssl-cert 1.0-7 Simple debconf wrapper for openssl ii zlib1g 1:1.2.1-5 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information
