Package: cherokee
Version: 0.99.14-1+b1
Severity: normal

After upgrading to 0.99.14-1+b1, cherokee fails to start again, with error message
rule_extensions.c:70: Rule prio=99999 needs an 'extensions' property
Couldn't read the config file: /etc/cherokee/cherokee.conf

This error is however silently ignored by the startup script.
Adding a trailing newline to the config file solves the problem.

Hi,

I am forwarding this bug to the Cherokee upstream developers, so they
can consider modifying the parser if the last line does not end with a
newline. I will be adding a newline character unless one is present,
by adding this to the installation scripts:

  # Make sure the configuration file has a trailing whiteline to
  # avoid confusing the parser (see #528160)
  CONFFILE=/etc/cherokee.conf
  if [ -f $CONFFILE -a ! -z "$(tail -1 $CONFFILE)" ]
     echo >> $CONFFILE
  fi

I will be uploading a new version incorporating this fix right away,
as at least two people have been bitten by this bug (also #524958).

It's fixed upstream now (r3214), so the patch will be shipped with the upcoming Cherokee 0.99.15.

Thanks for reporting Gunnar!
