Bug#233538: apache: dotfiles not skipped, scanning /etc/apache/conf.d

I can accept a patch but it has to be configurable by the user and not breaking anything that is known to work as is it is now and i will apply only after upstream review/acceptance. We are quite relucant to apply Debian specific patches that will make configurations non portable with other distributions. > NB: Sorry about the duplicate bug. No problem :) what about closing your and keep going on the first one? ( I leave up to you the decision) Fabio -- fajita: step one Whatever the problem, step one is always to look in the error log. fajita: step two When in danger or in doubt, step two is to scream and shout.

> While you're at it ;-) please also skip files matching '*.dpkg-*'. That a good point - dpkg/apt etc will be dropping conffiles into /etc/apache/conf.d and -dpkg- files may be left behind due to this. Carl GMG Regional Digital is part of the Guardian Media Group plc.

severity 233538 wishlist merge 233538 135717 stop This is well documented at: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#include "Make sure that an included directory does not contain any stray files, such as editor temporary files, for example, as Apache will attempt to read them in and use the contents as configuration directives, which may cause the server to fail on start up. Running apachectl configtest will give you a list of the files that are being processed during the configuration check:" as well duplicate of 135717.
