Bug#282606: apache2: link Apache with external PCRE
Package: apache2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Apache 2 crashes when loading any module which is linked to the system PCRE library (because Apache is statically linked to an ancient version of PCRE internally). There is a working patch which allows Apache to be linked against the system PCRE: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27550#c13 (When configuring, you need to add --with-external-pcre). The Apache developers have been totally unresponsive on this, even though the patch works and is well-tested. It would be nice to be able to use Apache 2 + PCRE-linked modules under Debian at the very least.

Bug#252627: apache: environment cleaning not useful
Package: apache Version: 1.3.29.0.2-4 Severity: normal After getting the latest Apache, I found that passing environment variables to the server from the command line no longer works. This is the changelog: - More init scripts cleanup. It shouldn't leak environment information (Closes: #229653, #230991) Unfortunately this isn't very useful behaviour. I routinely set PGHOST to select development database. Now there is no useful way to pass this from the command line to Apache. (Adding it to /etc/apache/local.conf using SetEnv doesn't work because mod_env runs too late). As another example it makes the PassEnv directive completely useless. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (650, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.6 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages apache depends on: ii apache-common 1.3.29.0.2-4 Support files for all Apache webse ii debconf 1.4.25 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg1.10.21 Package maintenance system for Deb ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdb4.24.2.52-16Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries [ ii libexpat1 1.95.6-8 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libmagic1 4.07-2 File type determination library us ii libpam0g0.76-21 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii logrotate 3.6.5-2 Log rotation utility ii mime-support3.26-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii perl5.8.3-3 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction -- debconf information: * apache/enable-suexec: false * apache/server-name: localhost * apache/document-root: /var/www * apache/server-port: 80 * apache/init: true * apache/server-admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
