* (Matthew Wilcox) - Various changes to apache.init, apache-perl.init and apache-ssl.init: + Send a HUP for restart, then attempt to start the daemon if that fails. (Closes: #158993) -- Fabio M. Di Nitto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tue, 28 Oct 2003 18:15:21 +0100 I have read the bug report and while I agree that the socket binding issue is a problem, I don't believe that modifying the "restart" handler is a good move. Traditionally, restart invokes a complete stop and start of the package. The -HUP signal functionality is not equivalent, for example I stumbled upon this issue when I did a restart and suexec was not loaded in after I moved the suexec binary to the relevant place. On the other hand, I'm not getting wound up about it, it seemed worth making a note somewhere public so that others who might scratch their head at a similar issue may find an answer. On the DWIM note, I think "restart" is a clear enough verb, it means stop, start, not send-friendly-signals or partially-restart. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux darko 2.6.0-test11 #4 Tue Dec 30 18:00:53 NZDT 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages apache depends on: ii apache-common 1.3.29.0.1-3 Support files for all Apache webse ii debconf 1.3.22 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.10.18 Package maintenance system for Deb ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdb4.1 4.1.25-10 Berkeley v4.1 Database Libraries [ ii libexpat1 1.95.6-6 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libmagic1 4.06-1 File type determination library us ii libpam0g 0.76-14 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii logrotate 3.6.5-2 Log rotation utility ii mime-support 3.23-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii perl [perl5] 5.8.2-2 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction -- debconf information: apache/server-name: localhost apache/document-root: /var/www apache/server-port: 80 * apache/enable-suexec: false apache/init: true apache/server-admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
