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.
