How to handle configuration for apache modules?

2005-08-04 Thread Piotr Roszatycki 
Hi.

I'm a little confused about handling configuration for apache and apache2. The 
first doesn't support /etc/apache*/mods-available/* files so the module 
package can't provide proper *.conf file. I rather would like to see 
mods-available/mods-enabled infrastructure in apache 1.3 packages rather than 
config files located in conf.d for apache modules.

It would be absurd to create /etc/libapache-mod-XXX directory for each 
external apache module. This should be suggested only for web applications 
which could 
provide /etc/$PACKAGE/{apache,apache-ssl,apache-perl,apache2}.conf files and 
create symlink into /etc/$APACHE/conf.d in postinst script.

I really would like to see /etc/apache/mods-available 
and /etc/apache/mods-enabled directories in apache package. I see no reason 
why apache-modconf file wouldn't support this schema. Instead of creating 
modules.conf file it could create proper symlink from mods-available to 
mods-enabled. In fact, it could be much safer as far as it would be possible 
to use ... in *.load files.

Bug#307798: apache: Name clash for /icons/ and /images/

Please learn about severities before filing any further bugs.
The interpretation of the severity for this bug depends on point of view. 
For the end user it is problematic, because he can't upload and use 
/icons/ or /images/ directory name for its own web application. It has 
impact for some unknown count of application.

Even I remove the alias from httpd.conf, it will breaks the directory 
index or other pages generated internally by webserver.

Bug#307798: apache: Name clash for /icons/ and /images/

2005-05-05 Thread Piotr Roszatycki 
Package: apache
Version: 1.3.33-4
Severity: important

I was suprised that on the fresh installed Apache server, the following URL
doesn't work:

http://limbdemo.localhost/images/p-by-limb.gif

In the error.log:

[Thu May  5 17:03:12 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.5] File does not exist: 
/usr/share/images/p-by-l
imb.gif

Unfortunately, I can't "reset" these aliases for virtual host.

I think the aliases like /icons/ or /images/ or /doc/ are very unfortunate and
provokes many problems if the services on virtual servers utilise the same name
for directories.

Bug#305495: apache: AddDefaultCharset breaks the non-latin1 pages

2005-04-20 Thread Piotr Roszatycki 
Package: apache
Version: 1.3.33-4
Severity: minor

There is problem with AddDefaultCharset. The default charset is iso-8859-1.
That means the pages which sets other charsets (iso-8859-2, cyrilic, etc.) are
broken in the default Apache configuration. It seems to me as
English-language-centric point of view.

Everybody who I know just distable this setting after installing the package,
but it is a little annoying.

Maybe the Debconf question might help.

Bug#304786: apache2-common: Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/*.conf

2005-04-15 Thread Piotr Roszatycki 
I've learnt that apache package has applied patch which excludes *.dpkg-* 
files from included directory. I think it could be better solution if you 
don't want to change apache2.conf file and be backward compatible.

Bug#304191: apache-common: apache-modconf with higher Debconf priority if no arguments

2005-04-11 Thread Piotr Roszatycki 
Package: apache-common
Version: 1.3.33-4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

The /etc/apache/modules.conf file tells:

# To update it, run the command:
#/usr/sbin/apache-modconf apache

But it is not true if default priority (medium) is set for Debconf.
The `apache-modconf apache' does nothing!

I think it would be better to set higher Debconf priority if apache-modconf
is run without additional arguments.

1. Only for testing and unstable.
2. Apache 1.3 only
3. Bug#228867
4. If you don't know what 'seq' is you are dumb. mod_dynvhost - Was
a really good module, but you should now use
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/.

Apache configuration for virtual mass-hosting

2004-07-14 Thread Piotr Roszatycki 
Hi.

I'd like to contribute to Debian my Apache 1.3 configuration which provides 
the easiest way to using virtual servers.

The virtual server is created with proper mkdir command. The schema is very 
simple:

/var/www/vhosts/- for document root 
and /var/log/apache/vhosts/- for log files.

There is no VirtualHost sections in httpd.conf. Whole magic is done through 
mod_rewrite.

See http://people.debian.org/~dexter/apacheconf/ and have a good fun.
