Package: apache2
Version: 2.4.25-3+deb9u6
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
there is a problem with the setup-instance script for apache-multi
installation. The logrotation for the copyied instance is not working.
It looks like it is in debian stretch and buster/sid, in a kind of the
same way. In my fokus it's comming up with an installation from Ubuntu 18.04
What i did (stretch; buster/sid; ubuntu 18.04)
:~# apt-get install apache2
[...]
:~# sh /usr/share/doc/apache2/examples/setup-instance multi-xxx
Setting up /etc/apache2-multi-xxx ...
systemd is in use, no init script installed
use the 'apache2@multi-xxx.service' service to control your new instance
sample commands:
systemctl start apache2@multi-xxx.service
systemctl enable apache2@multi-xxx.service
Setting up symlinks: a2enmod-multi-xxx a2dismod-multi-xxx
a2ensite-multi-xxx a2dissite-multi-xxx a2enconf-multi-xxx
a2disconf-multi-xxx apache2ctl-multi-xxx
HINT "no init script installed"
:~# ls -la /etc/init.d/apache*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8181 Nov 3 12:34 /etc/init.d/apache2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2489 Nov 3 12:34 /etc/init.d/apache-htcacheclean
-> No init.d for the new multi-xxx apache
With in Debian 9.6 stretch
:~# cat /etc/logrotate.d/apache2-multi-xxx
/var/log/apache2-multi-xxx/*.log {

postrotate
if /etc/init.d/apache2-multi-xxx status > /dev/null ; then \
/etc/init.d/apache2-multi-xxx reload > /dev/null; \
fi;
endscript
prerotate
if [ -d /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate ]; then \
run-parts /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate; \
fi; \
endscript
}

With in Debian buster/sid

endscript

if [ -d /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate ]; then \
run-parts /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate; \

endscript
}
:~# invoke-rc.d apache2-multi-xxx status
Unit apache2-multi-xxx.service could not be found.
invoke-rc.d: initscript apache2-multi-xxx, action "status" failed.
:~# invoke-rc.d apache2-multi-xxx reload
/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d: 527: /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d:
/etc/init.d/apache2-multi-xxx: not found
invoke-rc.d: initscript apache2-multi-xxx, action "reload" failed.
In both cases the logrotation will fail because the reload is not
working. Also in the both cases the logrotate.d script for the multi-xxx
apache is a copy from the original logrotate.d apache2 script.
:~$ cat /usr/share/doc/apache2/examples/setup-instance
[...]
echo Setting up /etc/logrotate.d/apache2-$SUFFIX and
/var/log/apache2-$SUFFIX ...
cp -a /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 /etc/logrotate.d/apache2-$SUFFIX
perl -p -i -e s,apache2,apache2-$SUFFIX,g /etc/logrotate.d/apache2-$SUFFIX
[...]
As shown above the original apache has a init.d script installed and the
logrotation is working.
In that Ubuntu 18.04 installation i changed the
/etc/logrotate.d/apache2-multi-xxx in that way that i changed the reload
to systemd
from
[...]
if invoke-rc.d apache2-multi-xxx status > /dev/null
2>&1; then \
invoke-rc.d apache2-multi-xxx reload > /dev/null 2>&1; \
[...]
in to
[...]
if systemctl status apache2@multi-xxx.service >
/dev/null 2>&1; then \
systemctl reload apache2@multi-xxx.service >
/dev/null 2>&1; \
[...]
Looks like some day's after the logrotation is now workings as expected
for the multi-instance.
And in that case i think the upstream package for ubuntu 18.04 is
comming from Debian buster/sid.
Kind regards
Horst
