Bug#392058: apache2.2-common: apache fails to start

[Ian McDonald <ian.mcdonald@jandi.co.nz>]

Package: apache2.2-common
Version: 2.2.3-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


When starting apache get the following:

Starting web server (apache2)...apache2: Syntax error on line 185 of
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of
/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.load: API module structure `php5_module'
in file /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so is garbled - perhaps this is
not an Apache module DSO?
 failed!
  invoke-rc.d: initscript apache2, action "start" failed.

Line 185 is:
Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.load

and line 1 is:
LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so

When I comment these out it still fails:

  Starting web server (apache2)...Syntax error on line 141 of
  /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:
  Invalid command 'Order', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not
  included in the server configuration
   failed!

This section of the file is:

<Files ~ "^\.ht">
    Order allow,deny
        Deny from all
</Files>

and then I comment and it fails:

   Starting web server (apache2)...Syntax error on line 142 of
   /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:
   Invalid command 'Deny', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not
   included in the server configuration
    failed!

and then I gave up.

The first bug does look similar to bugs 391472 and 391864 which both state
2.2.3-2 fixes the issues. However I am definitely running this version
and it doesn't fix it..
