Red Hat, Inc. Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis: Apache bugfix release available for Red Hat Linux
6.1
Advisory ID: RHBA-1999:062-01
Issue date: 1999-12-30
Updated on: 1999-12-30
Keywords: apache suexec docroot manual httpd.conf apxs
logrotate
Cross references: N-A
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Topic:
A bugfix release of Apache is available which corrects problems with
httpd.conf default values, fixes building third party modules with
apxs, and performs other general cleanups. Anyone who has had
problems building third party modules is encouraged to upgrade.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 6.x - intel alpha sparc
3. Problem description:
APXS-- the utility used for building apache modules as DSOs-- had
problems as shipped in 6.1. In addition, we intended to ship a
unified httpd.conf default configuration file with our apache included
in Red Hat Linux 6.1, but this did not make it into the final release;
this has been corrected. The apache manual is now a subpackage in its
own right, so you may choose to install it or leave it out if you
wish. The logrotate script complained if httpd was not running, and
this has been fixed. suexec is no longer suid by default, and while no
security hole in suexec has been identified, it was determined that it
was safer to leave this choice up to the system administrator.
4. Solution:
For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Uvh [filename]
where filename is the name of the RPM.
5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):
5256 - manual should be on a subpackage
5367 - small cleanup of default conf files (1.3.9-4) (patch to
follow)
5650 - 1.3.9 apache-devel breaks PHP
6115 - httpd.conf didn't upgrade with
6655 - incorrect pointers to module documentation in conf files
7074 - /etc/logrotate.d/apache gives error if apache isn't running
