Update: Checking my config history, this was not introduced when I thought it was. I merely hadn't restarted apache after putting everything in version control.
The base principle still applies: one should not have the default configuration preclude revision control. Checking on things further, Subversion (svn) also puts a subdirectory in each managed directory. ** Description changed: Binary package hint: apache2.2-common In the latest apache2 default config files, the last lines are # Include generic snippets of statements Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/ # Include the virtual host configurations: Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ Any serious web server has its files under version control. I believe many version control packages add additional files to the directory; at least CVS, RCS, and SCCS do - CVS adds a CVS directory, with a few special files to point back to the repository, and the other two actually store all of the repositories within a subdirectory. The two include lines above will attempt to load all of these revision-control related files as apache config files, which will not work. I've kludged this for my system with the following, which has me back up and running: # Include generic snippets of statements Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/[a-z]* # Include the virtual host configurations: Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/*-* - This problem is in apache2-common 2.2.8-1ubuntu0.2; it was not in apache2-common 2.2.8-1ubuntu0.1. + This problem is in apache2-common 2.2.8-1ubuntu0.2. + Edit: it was also in apache2-common 2.2.8-1ubuntu0.1. -- apache2 conf.d and sites-enabled oops https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239048 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to apache2 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
