Bug 29606 – New apache2.conf setting depending on mod_alias is not IfModule'd

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Steffen Weber 2003-09-25 12:15:14 UTC]

The changes in apache2.conf in the recent apache-2.0.47-r1 ebuild introduced
this line of code:

AliasMatch ^/manual(?:/(?:de|en|fr|ja|ko|ru))?(/.*)?$
"/var/www/localhost/htdocs/manual/$1"

Due to the fact that all other module-depent settings are IfModule'd I think
this should be the case here, too:

<IfModule mod_access.c>
    AliasMatch ^/manual(?:/(?:de|en|fr|ja|ko|ru))?(/.*)?$
"/var/www/localhost/htdocs/manual/$1"
</IfModule>

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge apache-2.0.47-r1 and deactivate mod_access
2. Restart the apache server

Actual Results:  
cb3 root # /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
 * Starting apache2...
Syntax error on line 930 of /etc/apache2/conf/commonapache2.conf:
Invalid command 'AliasMatch', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not
included in the server configuration                                         [ !! ]

I'm sorry, i meant mod_alias and not mod_access in the description.
