Bug 115184 – Tikiwiki's doc/99_tiki-apache.conf contains syntax errors regarding regexps

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Attila Tóth 2005-12-11 04:40:15 UTC]

Tikiwiki provides Apache configuration file to prevent malicious use.
The file named 99_tiki-apache.conf should be included in httpd.conf.
Using FilesMatch with "*" results a syntax error because of badly formed regexps.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Include 99_tiki-apache.conf in httpd.conf.
2. apache2ctl configtest (to prevent outage)

Actual Results:  
The following error message results:
"Syntax error on line 8 of
/var/www/localhost/htdocs/tikiwiki/doc/99_tiki-apache.conf:
Regex could not be compiled"


Expected Results:  
Apache won't start, if it wasn't running. Although it won't be affected in case
of an apache2ctl configtest while it was running.

Created attachment 74489 [details, diff]
Change FilesMatch to Files and */tiki to regular Gentoo location

Replace FilesMatch directives with Files. Files directive get along with "*",
but it isn't OK for a regexp. It also replace the directory locations to the
regular Gentoo install path.

Attached patch to replaces the FilesMatch directives to Files, which get along
with "*". Also change the directory locations to gentoo regular path for tikiwiki.

Please report this upstream. The ebuild doesn't provide any Apache config files.
Also, webapps don't necessarily install into /var/www/localhost.
