I have a feeling this has bounced back and forth a few times now - or
possibly a similar change somewhere else in the codebase. Presumably it
needs to be switched by a config directive or similar.

Yes, I'd checked and it was apreq2 before. :D
The script probably just needs to handle both cases,
assuming mod_apreq is indeed for apache2.

Hi Scott,

What version of Ubuntu are you running ?

> + # xxx: ubuntu has mod_apreq2 - why was apreq here? do we need to check both?
> + foreach my $mod (qw(apreq2 expires perl log_config mime alias apache_ssl ssl)) {

The last two versions of Ubuntu install it as apreq2 but load it as apreq
as well in order to now be backwards compatible (or arguably forwards
compatible) with every other OS. So this line needs to be apreq rather than
apreq2 otherwise it breaks most sensible installs that install it as only
apreq.

It's annoying to say the least that they (actually debian) fixed this only
to go break it with this horrible environment variables loaded for the user
and group, which NO other linux OS does :-(

So we need to change this back to apreq. It works for me on Ubuntu 8.04 and
8.10 and currently this will break more installs than it will work on.

regards,

Paul

Whatever is decided -- and I've lost track -- will someone please just
make it so?

Thanks,

David

Oh, good. My opinion of Debian gets to remain in tact.

Curious that I have no problems on OS X. But whatever, please do just
make it right.

Thanks,

David
