Description Boney McCracker 2010-03-27 06:03:21 UTC
The parameter "STATUS" should be listed in the following section of /etc/conf.d/apache2:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Here are the options available in the default configuration:
#
#  AUTH_DIGEST  Enables mod_auth_digest
#  AUTHNZ_LDAP  Enables authentication through mod_ldap (available if USE=ldap)
#  CACHE        Enables mod_cache
#  DAV          Enables mod_dav
#  ERRORDOCS    Enables default error documents for many languages.
#  INFO         Enables mod_info, a useful module for debugging
#  LANGUAGE     Enables content-negotiation based on language and charset.
#  LDAP         Enables mod_ldap (available if USE=ldap)
#  MANUAL       Enables /manual/ to be the apache manual (available if USE=docs)
#  MEM_CACHE    Enables default configuration mod_mem_cache
#  PROXY        Enables mod_proxy
#  SSL          Enables SSL (available if USE=ssl)
#  SUEXEC       Enables running CGI scripts (in USERDIR) through suexec.
#  USERDIR      Enables /~username mapping to /home/username/public_html
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

It should be listed there in /etc/conf.d/apache2 because there is conditional logic in the default /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file depending on its definition:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<IfDefine STATUS>
LoadModule status_module modules/mod_status.so
</IfDefine>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reproducible: Always

patch for apache2 init script

Additionally, there is some information missing if you run /etc/init.d/apache2 describe. This patch adds that information.


(I didn't feel it was needed to file another bug for this since it is so closely related.)
