Bug#227232: apache: Overwrites own modules.conf on upgrade
Package: apache Version: 1.3.29.0.1-3 Severity: critical Justification: causes serious data loss (I consider by home-made configuration also data - webserver will not run without; and without backups I wouldn't have been able to recover per module the reasons why I enabled/disabled that module) I have a very customized apache configuration because I run a lot of different things via apache. Amongst others, config files were already split up. For example, I had moved all LoadModules line to a file called /etc/apache/modules.conf After upgrade to this version, the postinst failed, because apache failed to start because some modules I enabled via modules.conf were missing. It turned out, that modules.conf was overwritten by some apache-modules (or such) script. There were quite some things that looked like backups, but none contained the old version (I grepped). modules.conf.old was the same modules.conf (I ran postinst multiple times). I'm now going to clean up the mess and restore config from backup, and I will check out the postinst afterwards, if I find more problems, or a patch for this, I will add to this report and/or open another one. Above this, why modules-config? You cannot add comments next to the loadmodule line like this?! apache2's approach of a mods-available, and mods-enabled containing symlinks to the former, MUCH cleaner, and easier, and more straightforward, and non-causing-data-loss!

Bug#227294: apache-perl: hangs reading files in conf.d blocking startup process
Package: apache-perl Version: 1.3.29.0.1-3 Severity: normal I upgraded today from 1.3.29-1 to take advantage of the bugfix for #223829. Thanks, by the way. I am running apache-perl with mod_ssl as a DSO. I use mod_ssl in a single virtual host. The upgrade installed two files related to mod_ssl in conf.d, which was otherwise empty. One of these appeared to contain global configuration directives and the other had vhost-specific directives. Neither appered related to my particular configuration, which remains in http.conf. When attempting to restart after the upgrade, apache-perl hung reading the files in conf.d and did again on attempts to restart. This was particularly annoying as it blocked the startup process. For now I have commented out the include directive in httpd.conf for conf.d, and all is well. But I expect I will have to repeat the process on my next routine upgrade. The apache-perl error.log has the following which suggests the problem is that my key is not where the default configuration expects it to be: [Sun Jan 11 17:46:02 2004] [error] mod_ssl: Init: Private key not found (OpenSSL library error follows) [Sun Jan 11 17:46:02 2004] [error] OpenSSL: error:0D094068:asn1 encoding routines:d2i_ASN1_SET:bad tag [Sun Jan 11 17:46:02 2004] [error] OpenSSL: error:0D0680A8:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_CHECK_TLEN:wrong tag [Sun Jan 11 17:46:02 2004] [error] OpenSSL: error:0D07803A:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_ITEM_EX_D2I:nested asn1 error [Sun Jan 11 17:46:02 2004] [error] OpenSSL: error:0D09A00D:asn1 encoding routines:d2i_PrivateKey:ASN1 lib Thanks again, Streph -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux janus 2.4.19 #4 SMP Wed Aug 20 19:54:38 EDT 2003 i586 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages apache-perl depends on: ii apache-common 1.3.29.0.1-3 Support files for all Apache webse ii debconf 1.4.4Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg1.10.18 Package maintenance system for Deb ii libapache-mod-perl 1.29.0.1-3 Integration of perl with the Apach ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdb4.14.1.25-13Berkeley v4.1 Database Libraries [ ii libexpat1 1.95.6-6 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libmagic1 4.06-2 File type determination library us ii libpam0g0.76-14.1Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libperl5.8 5.8.2-2 Shared Perl library. ii mime-support3.23-1 MIME files 'mime.types' 'mailcap -- debconf information: apache-perl/old-pidfile-set: * apache-perl/upgrade-from-apache-conflict: apache-perl/server-port: 80 apache-perl/init: true * apache-perl/enable-suexec: false apache-perl/server-name: www.ginkwunk.net apache-perl/server-admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] apache-perl/document-root: /var/www

Bug#226131: $r-dir_config('foo') returns undef instead of 0 when PerlSetVar foo '0'
Hi Don,
can you test the patch and come back to me?

An apache configuration with:
Location /
PerlSetVar foo '0';
/Location
Causes $r-dir_config('foo') to return undef unstead of zero. However,
$r-dir_config returns a hashref with the appropriate values set.
Apparently, the following patch[1] fixes this issue, but I have not yet
tried it myself. (It looks reasonable though...)

Re: Bug#223780: apache-common: 'modules.conf' included twice
Hi Marc, On Thu, 18 Dec 2003, [utf-8] Marc Dequènes wrote: can you send me your config files please?? I have been trying to reproduce this problem with no success. Sorry for the lag. Attached is my httpd.conf with the problem. Look at line 204-205, the include for modules was re-inserted during the upgrade process, so apache refused to restart. Probably a very minor detection problem when looking for the presence of this line. I really cannot understand why it was included twice. I did check again the script step-by-step and found nothing strange (also using your config). Can you reproduce this problem? If so please add set -x to modules-config so that i can see where it fails.
