Package: apache Version: 1.3.33-6sarge1 Severity: wishlist
When I upgraded Perl and had some mod_perl code start dying with messages about version mis-matches, I had to relearn again that invoke-rc.d apache-perl restart doesn't really restart. I wish it did, that wouldn't be suprising to me at all. The restart action not really restarting is most suprising. I wish the init script were changed so that: reload) - No change, what it does now. force-reload) - What restart does now. restart | reload-modules) - What reload-modules does now. There are probably some strong reasons why this can't be. Hopefully not though and maybe it's already changed. I didn't pick it out of the changelog for unstable if it was. Here are some bug reports related to /etc/init.d/apache* start/stop/restart/reload: 348474: invoke-rc.d apache-perl restart doesn't reload perl modules - I agree with Geoff's report. It is suprising that restart doesn't restart and thus ensuring a reload of modules. 359082: Update to (5.8.4-8sarge4) broke Errno.pm - restart apache... (stop/start cycle or reload-modules) 237377: Apache parent process dies at reload - Change the restart with a stop 157021: (logrotate issue) - Fixed with update 83820: init.d/apache restart failed 110456: apache tries to restart too soon - Waits up to 30 seconds for apache to stop on a restart - Add a call to /etc/init.d/apache restart in postinst. 158993: /etc/init.d/apache restart fails (socket still bound) - This is where the change to the current reload | force-reload & etc happened - The should_start check seems to have been dropped 57333: cron.daily/apache restarts apache - Cron script reloads apache with a -HUP, if possible, instead of using apachectl which may have undesired side effects, closes: #57333 -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-3-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages apache depends on: ii apache-common 1.3.33-6sarge1 support files for all Apache webse ii debconf 1.4.30.13 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.10.28 Package maintenance system for Deb ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdb4.2 4.2.52-18 Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries [ ii libexpat1 1.95.8-3 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libmagic1 4.12-1 File type determination library us ii logrotate 3.7-5 Log rotation utility ii mime-support 3.28-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii perl 5.8.4-8sarge4 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction -- debconf information: apache/server-name: localhost apache/document-root: /var/www apache/server-port: * apache/enable-suexec: false apache/init: true apache/server-admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
