Package: apache2
Version: 2.0.55-4
Severity: normal

Versions of packages apache2 depends on:
ii  apache2-mpm-prefork           2.0.55-4   traditional model for Apache2

apache2 recommends no packages.

-- no debconf information

The following change is made to apache2.conf:
# UserDir is now a module
UserDir public_html
UserDir disabled root

<Directory /home/*/public_html>
        AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
        Options Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
</Directory>

The resulting errors:

/etc/apache2/apache2.conf:

not included in the server configuration
