Package: libapache2-mod-php5 Version: 5.3.3-7+squeeze14 Severity: minor
The default configuration file /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf sensibly disables the php interpreter for public_html directories by using php_admin_value engine Off which actually disables the php engine. However, the semantics are wrong, because 'engine' is a boolean value and should be set using php_admin_flag instead of php_admin_value, according to http://php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.php This confused me today and cost me a few hours of time. I tried to re-enable the engine for a specific user by placing the following code in /etc/apache2/conf.d/ <Directory /home/fritz/public_html> php_admin_value engine On </Directory> This failed because the string 'On' is probably interpreted as the number zero, which still disables the engine. Please change the default configuration file to correctly use php_admin_flag instead of php_admin_value in order to reduce the possible confusion of users reading or modifying the configuration. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libapache2-mod-php5 depends on: ii apache2-mpm-prefor 2.2.16-6+squeeze8 Apache HTTP Server - traditional n ii apache2.2-common 2.2.16-6+squeeze8 Apache HTTP Server common files ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-6+squeeze1 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.11.3-4 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcomerr2 1.41.12-4stable1 common error description library ii libdb4.8 4.8.30-2 Berkeley v4.8 Database Libraries [ ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.8.3+dfsg-4squeeze6 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries - k ii libk5crypto3 1.8.3+dfsg-4squeeze6 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries - C ii libkrb5-3 1.8.3+dfsg-4squeeze6 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libmagic1 5.04-5+squeeze2 File type determination library us ii libonig2 5.9.1-1 Oniguruma regular expressions libr ii libpcre3 8.02-1.1 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii libqdbm14 1.8.77-4 QDBM Database Libraries [runtime] ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8o-4squeeze13 SSL shared libraries ii libxml2 2.7.8.dfsg-2+squeeze5 GNOME XML library ii mime-support 3.48-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii php5-common 5.3.3-7+squeeze14 Common files for packages built fr ii tzdata 2012c-0squeeze1 time zone and daylight-saving time ii ucf 3.0025+nmu1 Update Configuration File: preserv ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages libapache2-mod-php5 recommends: ii php5-cli 5.3.3-7+squeeze14 command-line interpreter for the p Versions of packages libapache2-mod-php5 suggests: pn php-pear <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
