Package: apache
Version: 1.3.33-6sarge1
Severity: wishlist


When I upgraded Perl and had some mod_perl code start dying with
messages about version mis-matches, I had to relearn again that
invoke-rc.d apache-perl restart doesn't really restart. I wish it did,
that wouldn't be suprising to me at all. The restart action not really
restarting is most suprising.

I wish the init script were changed so that:
reload) 
- No change, what it does now.
force-reload)
- What restart does now.
restart | reload-modules)
- What reload-modules does now.


There are probably some strong reasons why this can't be. Hopefully not
though and maybe it's already changed. I didn't pick it out of the
changelog for unstable if it was.

Here are some bug reports related to /etc/init.d/apache*
start/stop/restart/reload:

348474: invoke-rc.d apache-perl restart doesn't reload perl modules
- I agree with Geoff's report. It is suprising that restart doesn't
  restart and thus ensuring a reload of modules.

359082: Update to (5.8.4-8sarge4) broke Errno.pm
- restart apache... (stop/start cycle or reload-modules)

237377: Apache parent process dies at reload
- Change the restart with a stop

157021: (logrotate issue)
- Fixed with update

83820: init.d/apache restart failed
110456: apache tries to restart too soon
- Waits up to 30 seconds for apache to stop on a restart
- Add a call to /etc/init.d/apache restart in postinst.

158993: /etc/init.d/apache restart fails (socket still bound)
- This is where the change to the current reload | force-reload & etc
  happened
- The should_start check seems to have been dropped

57333: cron.daily/apache restarts apache
- Cron script reloads apache with a -HUP, if possible, instead of
  using apachectl which may have undesired side effects, closes: #57333

You filled the bug http://bugs.debian.org/364928 in Debian BTS
against the package apache. I'm closing it at *unstable*, but it will
remain open for older distributions.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/418266. That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
