Package: mlmmj-php-web-admin Version: 1.5.2-1 Severity: important Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer, The Debian version of this package requires a .htaccess file to work correctly, this is a problem for users that aren't using Apache. I cannot address the issue of compatibility with non-Apache servers in regard to the necessity of using HTTP Basic Authentication to protect the admin interface. Someone else will have to supply a patch for that. But the Debian-supplied .htaccess file also presents a problem for Apache users who are not using libapache2-mod-php as is increasingly the norm. The line: php_value include_path "/usr/share/mlmmj-php-web-admin" Causes a fatal error when mod-php is not in-use, but the result of the line being there is necessary to make the script work with Debian packaging. There is however, a different way to solve this issue, which both makes the script work with PHP-FPM or PHP-CGI, in addition to mod-php, and also with non-Apache Web servers. (note again this does not address the Basic Auth issue) The admin script can be patched to provide the same functionality in PHP. Below are two patches. One removes the line from .htaccess that causes an inability to start Apache when mod-php is not enabled. The second patch alters the PHP script to do the same thing the .htaccess file was trying to do. --- /usr/share/mlmmj-php-web-admin/htdocs/.htaccess.orig 2025-10-11 09:23:37.000000000 -0400 +++ /usr/share/mlmmj-php-web-admin/htdocs/.htaccess 2025-10-11 12:42:09.154962565 -0400 @@ -2,4 +2,3 @@ AuthType Basic AuthName "mlmmj web-interface on Debian GNU/Linux" AuthUserFile /etc/mlmmj-php-web-admin/htpasswd -php_value include_path "/usr/share/mlmmj-php-web-admin" --- /usr/share/mlmmj-php-web-admin/htdocs/index.php.orig 2023-06-20 03:40:05.000000000 -0400 +++ /usr/share/mlmmj-php-web-admin/htdocs/index.php 2025-10-11 12:25:13.906398366 -0400 @@ -27,6 +27,7 @@ * IN THE SOFTWARE. */ +set_include_path(get_include_path().PATH_SEPARATOR."/usr/share/mlmmj-php-web-admin"); require(dirname(dirname(__FILE__))."/conf/config.php"); require(dirname(__FILE__)."/class.rFastTemplate.php"); -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.12 APT prefers oldstable-updates APT policy: (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'oldstable-security'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-37-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages mlmmj-php-web-admin depends on: ii mlmmj 1.3.0-4 ii php8.2 [php] 8.2.29-1~deb12u1 mlmmj-php-web-admin recommends no packages. mlmmj-php-web-admin suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: -- no debconf information
