Hi Jonathan,
while I agree that such changes should not happen within one Debian release
and the maintainer might want to relax the rules for the package, the
ServerName accepts a hostname as a parameter and a valid hostname cannot
contain underscore. So the Apache is behaving correctly here not accepting
invalid hostname.
Cheers, Ondřej

Version: 2.4.25-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
somewhere between 2.4.23-8 and 2.4.25-1 there was a regression that causes
apache to ignore ServerName directives containing underscores.
I have since tested and confirmed that removing the underscore fixes the
problem as does installing version 2.4.10-10+deb8u7
There is nothing in the error log indicating a problem (Not
surprising since it's not recognising the virtualhost at all)
The site conf file:
$ cat /etc/apache2/sites-available/kint_test.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName kint_test.local
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /home/j/localhost/kint_test
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
The folder in question: (chmod -R 777, and other sites under
/home/j/localhost work fine so it's not a file permission issue)
$ ls -l /home/j/localhost/kint_test
total 8
-rwxrwxrwx 1 j j 0 Jan 14 11:18 index.html
Relevant part of apache2.conf:
<Directory /home/j/localhost>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require ip 192.168
Require local
</Directory>
Relevant part of hosts file:
$ grep kint_test /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 kint_test.local
Server response:
$ curl kint_test.local
