Bug#214861: apache: postinst script doesn't handle a directory of vhost files at all

[simon raven <simon@nuit.ca>]

Package: apache
Version: 1.3.28-1
Severity: normal
Tags: sid

the postinst should either skip the vhost dir, and point very loudly to a README on
what to change in the vhost files, or be able to go into the mentioned
directory and modify the vhosts there. even though i storngly feel that
this is tampering with user/admin settings way too much, IMO. *G*

this is an example of my Include for that directory:

Include $APACHE_CONF_DIR/virtualhosts/

this works fine, server starts with no problems, and serves up the
vhosts just fine, just thepostinst doesn't handle them very well at all.

+ awk $1 ~ /^\s*[A-Za-z]*Log$/ {print $2} /etc/apache/access.conf /etc/apache/httpd.conf /etc/apache/modules.conf /etc/apache/srm.conf /etc/acidlab/apache.conf /etc/apache/modules.conf /etc/apache/vhosts/ /etc/phpgroupware/apache.conf /etc/phppgadmin/apache.conf /etc/squirrelmail/apache.conf
+ grep -v |
+ sort -u
awk: cmd. line:1: (FILENAME=/etc/apache/modules.conf FNR=38) fatal: file `/etc/apache/vhosts/' is a directory

i'll try sticking a * after the vhosts/

that helped a lot. *G*. maybe a PEBKAC, but i hadn't had problems like i
said before.

cheers
