[Bug 1307548] Re: updating from 12.04 to 14.04 causes apache to not start

 

The above didn't completely work for me.  Since I had originally set up
mythweb to not be the only web service I had to reconfigure mythweb
twice.  The first time to say mythweb would be the only web service
running and the second to say it wouldn't.

I dug a little further and found that instead of reconfiguring mythweb I
could do the following.

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/mythweb.conf
Change any reference of /var/www/mythweb  to /var/www/html/mythweb 
sudo a2ensite 000-default.conf

The a2ensite command didn't seem to get run when I reconfigured mythweb
and selected No for mythweb being the only web service.  For some reason
it had to be toggled to Yes and then back to No.

  updating from 12.04 to 14.04 causes apache to not start

Bug description:
  Upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04 causes apache to not start:

   * Starting web server apache2                                                                                                                  * 
   * The apache2 configtest failed.
  Output of config test was:
  AH00526: Syntax error on line 30 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mythweb.conf:
  You may not use 'Options +All' or 'Options -All'.
  Action 'configtest' failed.
  The Apache error log may have more information.

  
  This is because 12.04 had apache2 2.2.  14.04 has 2.4.  The supported syntax changed between apache releases.

  Fixed by:

  $ sudo rm /etc/apache2/sites-available/mythweb.conf
  $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythweb
  $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start

  
  I think during dist-upgrade we might want to either remove mythweb.conf so it can regenerate (easier/safer), or fix this in postinst for upgrade.
