My testing machine is at home, but here are some notes that I made about the problem. First the error message while upgrading: Restart Apache now? [Y/n] y Stopping apache with apachectl ... done. Waiting for apache to terminate ... done. Syntax error on line 33 of /etc/apache/access.conf: Invalid command 'order', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration /usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started Configuration failed! Run "apacheconfig" to try this again later. The original line 33 of access.conf was "order allow,deny". I tried changing this to "Order Allow,Deny" and "Order allow,deny". All variations that I tried resulted in a syntax error on line 33 when I ran "apache -t". From a quick scan of the apache source it appears that apache does not care about the case of directives, but the Debian install and config scripts might. I have attached my access.conf file. Those who have a potato box will see that it has very few modifications from the original distribution. I did not file the original bug report on this, but in the next few days I will add some notes to the bug report. I know the apache maintainers are currently working on 1.3.23 so I'll give that a try when it makes it to unstable. John
