Package: apache
Version: 1.3.19-1
Severity: important
>From 1.3.12-2 to 1.3.19-1 apache's default behavour aparently changed
in that the roor (/var/www) can not be a symlink any more:
[Mon Aug 27 12:00:52 2001] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Symbolic link not
allowed: /var/www/
This breaks my configuration.
IMHO an update should:
* either go smoothely, without breaking your running system
* ask for your configuration, warning you that things will possibly break
and point you to some explanation or documentation
<rant>I started with sendmail as a MTA. After x updates, which *every* time
broke my runing system I gave up and switched to exim, which has updated
like a charm ever since.
Unfortunately more often than not apache breaks after an update :-(,
which is why I don't update apache unless some security bug *forces*
me to. This time I just didn't pay enough attention and dselect did
it "automagicaly" for me :-/
Sigh.

I am closing this bug since the usage of SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is
recommended and it enforces a more strict security control over the
contents of the pages.
