 Posted: Wed Sep 05, 2007 9:46 pm Post subject: apache 2.2 upgrade |
 |
|
Hi all,
Just a word of warning: I couldn't get my apache server back up after the upgrade, a frustrating hour or 2 later I downgraded to 2.0.x
My problem was the mod_proxy which wasn't getting loaded (yes I added it to APACHE2_OPTS), which resulted in an error about not knowing my 'ProxyRequests' directive.
This topic can be used to report similar problems/solutions with the apache 2.2 upgrade.
TIP: re-emerge mod_proxy_html and subversion if you use those in combination with apache2
regards,
Mike |

Well I stupidly upgraded myself. The whole config system has changed and I've dont' know how to use the freaking things. I'm quite pissed to say the least.
I've never used vhosting I've know idea what it is and I can't even find the place to put my ServerName. Crap this is really not funny.

This totally sucks. I can't believe the deal with apache the last few days.. major pain. I think I might wait a bit before rolling this out on production.

Thx for the heads-up. I saw the upgrade and decided to visit the forum first.
A simple
# echo ">www-servers/apache-2.0.59-r5">> /etc/portage/package.mask
did the trick.

Most of the problems people are reporting about this upgrade are from two things:
a) fairly significant changes to the config files in /etc including a number of directives being moved from /etc/apache2/httpd.conf to /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/default_vhost.include and default virtual host directives being moved from the files in /etc/apache2/modules.d to files in /etc/apache2/vhosts.d.
b) the need to recompile all modules, including php.
How difficult this is depends on how customized your configs are, but the config file changes are a must.
Both of these are discussed in the post install elogs:
| Code: | >>> Messages generated by process 23960 on 2007-09-06 16:31:46 for package www-servers/apache-2.2.4-r12:
LOG: setup
Selected default MPM: prefork
You can manipulate several configure options of suexec
through the following environment variables:
SUEXEC_SAFEPATH: Default PATH for suexec (default: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin)
SUEXEC_LOGFILE: Path to the suexec logfile (default: /var/log/apache2/suexec_log)
SUEXEC_CALLER: Name of the user Apache is running as (default: apache)
SUEXEC_DOCROOT: Directory in which suexec will run scripts (default: /var/www)
SUEXEC_MINUID: Minimum UID, which is allowed to run scripts via suexec (default: 1000)
SUEXEC_MINGID: Minimum GID, which is allowed to run scripts via suexec (default: 100)
SUEXEC_USERDIR: User subdirectories (like /home/user/html) (default: public_html)
SUEXEC_UMASK: Umask for the suexec process (default: 077)
LOG: postinst
The default webroot has not been installed into
//var/www/localhost because the directory already exists
and we do not want to overwrite any files you have put there.
If you would like to install the latest webroot, please run
emerge --config =apache-2.2.4-r12
Listen directives have been moved into the default virtual host
configuation. At least DEFAULT_VHOST has been enabled for you
(depending on your USE-flags.
If you disable DEFAULT_VHOST or SSL_DEFAULT_VHOST, there would
be no listening sockets available.
Please make sure that you update your /etc directory.
Between the versions, we had to changes some config files
and move some stuff out of the main httpd.conf file to a seperate
modules.d entry.
Thus please update your /etc directory either via etc-update,
dispatch-conf or conf-update !
When upgrading from versions below 2.2.0 to this version, you
need to rebuild all your modules. Please do so for your modules
to continue working correctly.
Also note that some configuration directives have been
split into their own files under //etc/apache2/modules.d/
and that some modules, foremost the authentication related ones,
have been renamed.
Some examples:
- USERDIR is now configureable in /etc/apache2/modules.d/00_mod_userdir.conf.
For more information on what you may need to change, please
see the overview of changes at:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/new_features_2_2.html
and the upgrading guide at:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/upgrading.html
|
I was lucky that most of my machines didn't have heavily customized configs, so it wasn't too tough. I addresses the configs (mostly with etc-update), recompiled php5, and everything worked first time upon restarting apache.

I have a new issue to add to the list concerning the "AddDirectroyIndex" directive.
| Code: |
# /etc/init.d/apache2 configtest
* Checking Apache Configuration ...
* Apache2 has detected a syntax error in your configuration files:
[Thu Sep 06 18:18:32 2007] [warn] Useless use of AllowOverride in line 81.
Syntax error on line 85 of /etc/apache2/modules.d/75_mod_perl.conf:
AddDirectoryIndex not allowed here
|
So what's wrong here? Did the "AddDirectroyIndex" directive get removed? If it can't go in the module config files, then do I have to add it to the vhost files instead? If so, that seems a half-brain-dead approach to it considering it breaks the whole concept of keeping the module configs ... well... modularized . For example, if one should decide to remove mod_perl from their system and forget do remove the apache option "-D PERL" from /etc/conf.d/apache and all related entries from even one vhost file, they're probably gonna get some undesired behavior ... especially when Joe WebDeveloper goes to edit the homepage but can't get it to display because index.pl overrides index.html. |

Personally, I felt that this is more of a 2.5 like upgrade, as it significantly changes a lot in the Apache server, many modules are new/changed/deleted - for example no more mod_auth_mysql and no easy upgrade path, at least not with Gentoo. I have been successfully running Apache 2.2 unmasked now for many moons on a test server to learn about the significant differences of the database modules and configuration. It is a good upgrade but you certainly need to do it first on a test server to see what might break on your production servers! If you use mod_auth_mysql, you are going to have to learn a lot of new stuff!!! I switched to sqlite and ldap.
I must admit I have been surprised at how many people are upgrading without having read all about apache 2.2 at apache.org first. It has been available for some time now (it seems like it has been masked in Gentoo forever), and many of the problems with upgrading have been discussed there. They have a good overview of upgrading from 2.0 to 2.2, linked to from their main Apache 2.2 documentation page. |

Personally on a significant upgrade like 2.0 to 2.2 I would reemerge everything that depends on that package like so:
| Code: | | for i in $(qdepends -CNQ www-servers/apache); do emerge $i; done |

I personally felt it was more like an Apache 3.0 upgrade. Minor version upgrades usually don't make incompatible changes. In any case I'm pleased that I upgraded a test server and not the production server because it took some time for me to figure out. |

hi!
i also damit that i upgraded without reading the docu but it seems i had luck with this because my config changes do not vary much from original config. thx for the tip with the apache docu-site - now i will read the upgrade guide to understand what i have done - ok, wrong order, but i will try it anyway...

Thanks for the post my apache stopped working and I felt a modocom of panic until I read this post. A simple remerge of php did the trick.

I ran across the same problem. Found this link:
http://wiki.tomedia.de/display/L/mod_bw
Looks like mod_bw-0.8 works fine.

The problem I am having is I can't even determine whether my config files will work as it doesn't appear to try to start apache:
| Code: | diablerie vhosts.d # /etc/init.d/apache2 start
diablerie vhosts.d # |

That certainly is odd. Did you update /etc/init.d/apache2? Also, what's the output of your /var/log/apache2/error_log?
Thanks!

That's the really weird part - there is no output about it trying to start apache and nothing in the error log (in fact, since I deleted the error log when I first started having this problem so I could see whether it was touching the log files at all, there isn't even an error log). I did replace the init script, I have even deleted the init script and re-emerged it (I have also deleted the conf.d script and the config scripts and then re-emeged apache - next I may have to try deleting the whole /etc/apache2 directory and re-emerging it.
Thanks,

I'm in charge of the library's webserver at school (by the way of no one else is familar enough with linux) and I almost had us down for hours.
I did a /etc/init.d/apach2 RESTART, not stop and start like I usually do.
When restart is done it doesn't stop your server unless everything is fine and it can start. Whew. it was so close.
Just my story. Boo apache. Why did you do this? lol

I tried downgrading and it still wouldn't work. I finally got so fed up I tried restarting the machine and now it is working. No idea why though. |

 I had the same PAIN as you guys when I upgraded the world and it did upgrade apache2. On top of that I upgraded my kernel from 2.6-20 to 2.6.22 and that again stopped my working apache2. stop and restart work fine , and nmap localhost shows port 80 listening but browser could never open the localhost ...I have already posted a topic for that

Is it me, or did they completely remove httpd.conf, after they JUST merged gentoo to that "standard" like a year ago?
Looks to me like they moved everything to the modules.d/00_* format... but I still have old httpd.conf's from previous upgrades, so I'm not sure.

why dont use guys mv config directory to else
and do emerge -C apache and apache-apps
and emerge -v "=apache-2.0.61"
This should get you going atleast.  |

| I removed totally apache and all it'f files and then re-emerged it and it didn't help. Maybe the problem isn't in apache? For example when I try to start samba I get the "starting samba..." message but then it freezes and nothing happens and again no output or logs. |
