Syntax errors in ssl virtual hosts are not detected

           Summary: Syntax errors in ssl virtual hosts are not detected
           Product: Apache httpd-1.3
           Version: 1.3.26
          Platform: Sun
               URL: http://www.unc.edu
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


We have a web server farm configured to reload a new httpd.conf whenever there 
has been a change in AFS.  A script copies the new file and triggers a 
graceful restart.  We have relied upon this feature to catch syntax errors 
that we normally don't and prevent it from loading a bad config.

Today we made a change in one of the SSL virtual hosts and there was a syntax 
error where we mangled the Alias line.  Apache thought this was OK and 
reloaded the config.  This is where Apache crashed with an error because of 
the bad syntax.  I even ran '/etc/init.d/apachectl configtest' and it 
reports "Syntax OK".  No matter what gibberish I place in a SSL virtual host, 
it never detects it until it actually loads the config.  Gibberish in any of 
the other 120 virtual hosts (non-SSL) are detected correctly.
