[users@httpd] oops i busted apache
I busted my apache.
I tried to do an upgrade and now I get this error when I start apache:
#####
Starting httpd2: Syntax error on line 1018 of
/etc/httpd/2.0/conf/commonhttpd.conf:
Invalid command 'ScriptAlias', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a
module not included in the server configuration
[FAILED]
#####
The offending part of that file is this:
#####
ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin/ /usr/local/nagios/sbin/
<Directory /usr/local/nagios/sbin/>
Authtype Basic
Authname "Nagios Console"
AuthuserFile /usr/lib/apache/passwords/.nagiospasswd
Require user admin
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/html/acid/>
Authtype Basic
Authname "ACID Console"
AuthUserFile /usr/lib/apache/passwords/.acidpasswd
Require user admin
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
#####
Ideas? The module seems to be running an in place, but I'll try
anything.

Yes, he most likely is. I considered if mime_magic could be doing it, but
thought that the upgrade would have written a default configuration file,
where mime_magic shouldn't be enabled. I better work on disabling
mod_assumption ;)

After a quick double check, I am in fact using mime_magic, er...rather
apache is. Perhaps the upgrade made that active, and since my html file
was never really a valid one to begin with caused that problem.
And to answer Roberts rpm question: Upgrades theoretically keep your
current settings, and I've never had them overwritten before. But all 3
of the *required* modules for instance were commented out during the
upgrade.
Weird stuff. I'm sure Jonas is right about the mime_magic thing on the
second problem. All is working now though. *phew*

It's possible hes's using MIME magic for file types. If the HTML file was malformed, couldn't that have made the MIME magic module make a bad guess (or possibly just give up)?

Ah, the change in the HTML did probably only affect the *browser*, not
Apache. Your problem might be that Apache isn't sending a "text/html"
MIME-type, why the browser might display it as text unless it finds an
<html> tag. That is, wrong Content-Type is sent with the file.
See if you can verify that theory, either by telnetting and manually request
it and watch the response, or use Mozilla Firebird with the Live HTTP
Headers plugin:
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firebird/
http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/extensionlist.php?app=Firebird#livehttpheaders

Did the RPM update cause httpd.conf to be replaced? Is that normal behaviour
for these RPMs, or is it a bug?

Are you sure Apache is currently sending the corrent mime-type (the
Content-Type header)? Apache will normally not care about the file's content
at all.

And, I bet it doesn't notice after the upgrade either. Apache has no concept
of HTML except as a MIME-type, which probably was the original problem in
one way or another.

Ok I managed to get it all working again. There was a few required
modules that were commented out. Then the html file was malformed,
apache just didn't notice until after the upgrade.
Thanks for your help!

ok I managed to get it started. It's still busted pretty good though.
I think my httpd2.conf file is whacked (no backup :-/ damn).
now I can actually browse to my site, but it just displays the contents
of the index.html file
###
<meta HTTP-EQUIV=refresh content="0; URL=http://munged.url.com/nagios">
###
That one line is all that's in my index.html, why would it jsut display
instead of execute?

Try writing scriptalias with quotes
Example:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/"
