Package: apache
Version: 1.3.24-3
Severity: minor
Hi,
I wanted to disable apache temporarely by removing the executable
bit from /etc/init.d/apache so it isn't started on boot.
However, no I keep getting errors from cron when it runs
the logrotate job. postrotate target of /etc/logrotate.d/apache
tries to run /etc/init.d/apache reload > /dev/null which if course
fails now. What about this small change which would eliminate
this minor thing? It would also work if someone decided to
rename or delete the apache init script.
test -x /etc/init.d/apache && /etc/init.d/apache reload > /dev/null
Regards,
Tuomas Jormola <tjormola@cc.hut.fi>

The currently preferred way to do this is to edit /etc/default/apache
and change start_at_boot=true to start_at_boot=false. I just posted a
solution to debian-apache that would let us honour the executable bit
on apache but this bug is actually solved.
