Bug 67551 – app-admin/webalizer should set correct paths in Apache configs

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Narada Sage 2004-10-14 07:47:20 UTC]

app-admin/webalizer-2.01.10-r4 gives incorrect postinst information if using apache2 even with the apache2 use flag enabled.  It says:

 * to update your apache.conf just type
 * echo "Include  conf/addon-modules/webalizer.conf"            >> /etc/apache/conf/apache.conf
 * 
 * Just type webalizer to generate your stats.
 * You can also use cron to generate them e.g. every day.
 * They can be accessed via http://localhost/webalizer

This is incorrect for apache2.  What it should say is that with apache2 there's no need to do anything.  The apache conf file is placed in /etc/apache2/conf/modules.d/55_webalizer.conf and everything in that directory is automatically imported by apache.  So it should merely ask to restart apache.  It should also say to edit /etc/webalizer.conf to add the hostname before running webalizer for the first time.

[Comment 1 Martin Mokrejš 2005-07-03 06:59:02 UTC]

I had to do the following fix to /etc/apache2/modules.d/55_webalizer.conf:

-Alias /webalizer "/var/www/webalizer"
+Alias /webalizer "/var/www/localhost/htdocs/webalizer"


webalizer-2.01.10-r8, apache-2.0.54-r11

[Comment 2 Jonathan Smith (RETIRED) 2005-07-06 16:30:40 UTC]

this issue does not exist in newer ebuilds. marking invalid

[Comment 3 Renat Lumpau (RETIRED) 2005-07-06 17:02:50 UTC]

The original issue is invalid, but comment #1 is correct. Should be an easy fix

[Comment 4 Narada Sage 2005-07-07 00:38:23 UTC]

In the file:

/etc/apache2/conf/modules.d/55_webalizer.conf

is the content:

#
# This is the config snippet for Webalizer
#
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/app-
admin/webalizer/files/2.01.10/apache.webalizer,v 1.2 2004/07/18 02:25:49 
dragonheart Exp $

Alias /webalizer "/var/www/webalizer"

<Directory "/var/www/webalizer">
  Options None
  AllowOverride None
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Directory>

Why is the alias in comment 1 necessary?  Doesn't the above do the trick?

[Comment 5 Renat Lumpau (RETIRED) 2005-07-07 15:27:02 UTC]

-r9 in Portage sets Apache paths correctly.
