Package: apache2
Version: 2.2.9-10+lenny8
Severity: normal

With the update from lenny7 to lenny8 a few days ago, my apache server
began choosing the wrong DirectoryIndex files to serve.  I have a
config snippet in /etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_dir that orders them like
this:

        DirectoryIndex home.html home.htm home.shtml\
                index.html index.htm index.shtml index.xml

Directories with only home.html files work fine, but index.html is now
preferred.

More weirdly, in debugging this, I removed the DirectoryIndex directive
from /etc/apache2/mods-available/dir.conf, and that fixed it.  Since
that file is processed before my snippet, I would expect my snippet to
override it.  Since home.html files *are* being processed, it seems like
the two directives are being combined instead.

I realize this makes no sense.  I looked at the changelog.  But I've
got two web servers with different but similar configs that are
both affected.  And in both cases, the only thing that changed was the
new apache rev.

I don't think it is explicitly documented. But the code is written 
that way and there are a number of config directives which work in the 
same way.

Closing the bug.
