Bug#534675: apache2-mpm-prefork: envvars problem with apache2 command

[Marc Maurice <exploit@smile.fr>]

Package: apache2-mpm-prefork
Version: 2.2.9-10+lenny3
Severity: minor


Hi,

Maybe am I missing a package or something, but I have this problem
on many lenny systems :

# apache2 -S
apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER}

Setting the envvars fixes the problem :

# . /etc/apache2/envvars 
# apache2 -S
VirtualHost configuration:
wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers:
*:80                   is a NameVirtualHost
[ list of vhosts ]
Syntax OK

Also changing User and Group variables to www-data in apache2.conf
fixes the problem.

Should the apache2 command include the envvars ??

Thanks in advance
Marc
