Bug ID: 61009
Summary: httpd -V runs a configtest if MPM DSOs are enabled
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.4.25
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Core
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
With a static MPM, `httpd -V` will correctly print out the compiled settings,
even if the configuration file is invalid or completely missing. With MPM DSOs,
an invalid configuration will prevent the compiled settings from being printed,
even if we know all of them.
An example I run into commonly is in normal HTTPS operation, where the private
key is stored in a folder that's only accessible by the superuser. This
prevents non-superusers from being able to run `httpd -V`... but only if
they're using dynamic MPMs.
I don't think a configtest is ever appropriate during -V operation. Users who
want a configtest can run a configtest. In the situation where we can figure
out which MPM is in use during ap_read_config(), we should immediately print
what we know and exit. Even if we can't read the configuration at all, we can
print out the settings we *do* know, and mark the MPM as [unknown] or
something.
