My testing machine is at home, but here are some notes that I made about
the problem. First the error message while upgrading:
Restart Apache now? [Y/n] y
Stopping apache with apachectl ... done.
Waiting for apache to terminate ... done.
Syntax error on line 33 of /etc/apache/access.conf:
Invalid command 'order', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
/usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
Configuration failed! Run "apacheconfig" to try this again later.
The original line 33 of access.conf was "order allow,deny". I tried
changing this to "Order Allow,Deny" and "Order allow,deny". All
variations that I tried resulted in a syntax error on line 33 when I ran
"apache -t". From a quick scan of the apache source it appears that
apache does not care about the case of directives, but the Debian install
and config scripts might.
I have attached my access.conf file. Those who have a potato box will
see that it has very few modifications from the original distribution.
I did not file the original bug report on this, but in the next few days
I will add some notes to the bug report.
I know the apache maintainers are currently working on 1.3.23 so I'll give
that a try when it makes it to unstable.
