Package: apache2.2-common Version: 2.2.3-3.1 Severity: important This report is very similar to #396782. When I originally installed apache, I replaced the contents of /var/www with my web site, and it worked fine. However, the latest version installed a default site at /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default which contained a redirect from "/" to "/apache2-default/", thus replacing my main web site with the default page, without warning me. I myself did not notice until a friend pointed it out, because I used bookmarks to deeper parts of the site, which were still up.
If the default apache config must have a redirect to the default page, it should at least be conditional on there being no index.html (or similar) present in /var/www. This would prevent people's web sites being replaced. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-1-amd64 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages apache2.2-common depends on: ii apache2-utils 2.2.3-3.1 utility programs for webservers ii libmagic1 4.17-4 File type determination library us ii lsb-base 3.1-22 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii mime-support 3.39-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii net-tools 1.60-17 The NET-3 networking toolkit apache2.2-common recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
