Adds a 'check-if-really-stopped' loop into the stop() function of the apache2 init script
I'm sure this could be done better... but as roothorick@#gentoo said: "a quick fix now and an optimal solution later is better than merely an optimal solution later" ;)
Nope, not going to happen. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 110556 *** (In reply to comment #2) > Nope, not going to happen. > > *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 110556 *** > Thanks for the lesson: We don't want to have workarounds that make buggy software usable. Instead we let everybody write their own workaround and give unhelpful comments to people who suggest a feasible solution in public. Good that I know that now, so I can adjust my behaviour and be as unhelpful as possible. The above patch doesn't solve anything, while potentially causing serious issues like being completely unable to do reboot a box gracefully due to infinite stop loop. As noted on the original bug, get apache fixed properly upstream.

Ridiculous. Calling '/etc/init.d/apache2 restart' will result in having apache2 not running at all afterwards - is that your idea of something working 'gracefully'? > As noted on the original bug, get apache fixed properly upstream. I totally agree. But as has been written before: "a quick fix now and an optimal solution later is better than merely an optimal solution later". And PLEASE oh PLEASE spare the "it's not our responsibility" crap. We are not interested in hacks; sorry. Since this apparently won't go anywhere in a productive way, please note that this bug is a duplicate and CLOSED. |
