Bug#419539: options error in Apache config file
Package: apache2.2-common
Version: 2.2.3-4
The file "/etc/apache2/sites-available/default" contains this item (in
the <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin"> section):
Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
This is explicitly disallowed by the Apache documentation.
>From <http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options> :
Normally, if multiple Options could apply to a directory, then the
most specific one is used and others are ignored; the options are
not merged. However if *all* the options on the Options directive
are preceded by a + or - symbol, the options are merged.
Prefixing a "+" to the "ExecCGI" option would resolve the issue.
This bug is a reversion. I reported it previously (bug #345922), and it
was supposed to have been fixed.
