Subject: apache2: does not work with CGI, PHP, Perl, mySQL, etc. Package: apache2 Version: 2.0.55-4 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
*** Please type your report below this line *** I tested apache2 and the 3 apache1 versions on both KNOPPIX-5.02-CD and my working machine with Debian testing. None worked with CGI, PHP, Perl, mySQL, phpmyadmin, and many other things. Apache2 was the worst by denying even access to http://localhost. Changing the configuration did not heall the system. I could correct the whole mess by using XAMPP of http://www.apachefriends.org/. This is a combination of working versions of Apache2, PHP, mySQL, and ftp such that the CGI, PHP , Perl, and phpmyadmin really work. I tested XAMPP both on KNOPPIX (with permanent saving) and Debian testing - with full success. After the former torture with the Debian Apache* I am really happy to have found this free software product. I propose that you either change towards XAMPP or at least try to learn from these guys. The actual trash of Debian's Apache and related software is not usable.
