@Johannes Agreed. That was one of the reasons I decided to make the existing behavior (i.e. "-a") the default.
I haven't independently confirmed that issue in APXS but I have heard it mentioned before; I'll test it myself when I get home just to make sure, since the APXS docs are a bit vague on this. Either way, I think so long as our documentation is clear and the existing behavior is default then it shouldn't pose a problem. --Kris 2012/2/20 Johannes Schlüter <johan...@schlueters.de> > Hi, > > On Mon, 2012-02-20 at 17:02 -0800, Kris Craig wrote: > > Opening discussion on RFC pertaining to adding a new option to the > > configure script with regard to how/whether APXS touches the httpd.conf > > file. > > > > This is my first RFC post so please go easy on me if I screwed-up on > > procedure in any way. =) > > > > > > Here it is: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/apxs-loadmodule > > A bit history: > > The svn revision r192467 had this comment: > > - Changed -a to -A to prevent enabling PHP in httpd.conf automatically. > # Most distributions use separate file in a conf.d/ directory to enable > # PHP, using -a would add unnecessary line in the main httpd.conf and > # causes a warning during startup. > > This was reverted in r194843 > > - Revert -a to -A change, bad idea: It disables EXISTING lines too! > > > I think we should be careful there. > > johannes > >
