Problem with perl sections + @Include + Options statement

[Bjørn Erik Jacobsen <bj...@sparkit.no>]

Hello,

I seem to have a rather strange problem when using Perl sections in
httpd.conf to load extra config files. Including files the normal way
works fine, but when including the same file using @Include in a Perl
section, it chokes on the "Options ..." keyword (see included error
message below). Everything else but this keyword is working fine,
even very complex config files. The original setup is a bit more
complex than what is included here, but I have stripped it down to
what is needed to reproduce (for me at least, on three different
servers, same results).

Anyone got any ideas about this one? I could not find any references
to this anywhere on the list or in the docs.


This works fine (httpd.conf):

====
...
Include /sites/doglegs.com/etc/httpd.conf
...
=====

Whereas the following does not:

====
...
<Perl>
  push(@Include, "/sites/doglegs.com/etc/httpd.conf");
</Perl>
...
====

and creates the following error:

Syntax error on line 233 of /data/apps/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
$parms->add_config() has failed: Option Indexes not allowed here at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i386-freebsd/Apache2/PerlSections
.pm line 203.\n

The file being included, contains nothing spectacular. Also, when
commenting out the Options line, it loads fine and the virtual host
is working as expected:

====
<VirtualHost test12.sparkit.no:80>
ServerName   doglegs.com
DocumentRoot /data/sites/doglegs.com/htdocs
ErrorLog     /data/sites/doglegs.com/logs/error.log
TransferLog  /data/sites/doglegs.com/logs/access.log
<Location />
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Location>
</VirtualHost>

Is this Apache 2.2?

There is a problem with 2.0.2, "Options" and Apache 2.2. Apache 2.2 has 
changed the AllowOverride directive to control which options can be 
overridden. Mp 2.0.2 does not regard this. Unfortunately, the set of Options 
that can be overridden by default is empty. There is a patch you can try. See
