http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1023616 Bug ID: 1023616 Summary: APACHE_CONF_INCLUDE_DIRS order change wrt. loadmodules, from 13.1 to tumbleweed Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Apache Assignee: bnc-team-apache@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: patrick.schaaf@yalwa.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Noticed an issue when upgrading from 13.1 to tumbleweed, wrt. apache configuration. I was using the sysconfig APACHE_CONF_INCLUDE_DIRS variable to draw in all my virtual host configuration. With 13.1 and older, the sysconfig.d/loadmodules.conf is included _before_ the config selected by APACHE_CONF_INCLUDE_DIRS (sysconfig.d/include.conf), by explicit ordering in the standard httpd.conf With tumbleweed, the whole sysconfig.d directory is no longer referenced in httpd.conf, but instead selected with an explicit "-C 'Include /etc/apache2.d/sysconfig.d/'" command line option. And .conf files from that directory, are then included in alphabetic order - which especially means include.conf comes _before_ loadmodules.conf That change became an issue to me, because the config I drew in via include.conf, was using <IfModule> stanzas - but these are apparently order dependant, and the module I tested for, was not yet loaded -> operation fail. I worked around the issue by simply stopping use of APACHE_CONF_INCLUDE_DIRS, and instead putting my stuff in the usual vhosts.d/ directory. In that case the order works out right - and as vhosts.d is included by httpd.conf, that shows that the '-C Include sysconfig.d' runs even fully before httpd.conf. While the issue is solved for me with that workaround, I thought it might be useful to make this bug report, in case somebody else runs into the same issues, or a maintainer might want to do something about it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
