"ServerRoot" breaks Vhosts_ispconfig.conf

[gentoose]

I've been fiddling around with Frontpage Extensions support on my Debian Testing box. Finally got it working, but I managed to destroy something else... Every time ISPConfig needs to update the vhosts, it starts the Vhosts_ispconfig.conf file with "ServerRoot". This is not accepted by Apache, so I just get a number of files in the apache vhost directory with Vhosts_ispconfig.conf-files, ending with date and time of file generation.

Don't ask me what I did to cause this, but there must be a file to edit to make ISPConfig stop generate this line... Please?
Thanks!

Do you use apache 1 or 2?

I'm using Apache2.

Nobody has any ideas?

Can you rename one of these Vhosts_ispconfig.conf-* files to Vhosts_ispconfig.conf and run
httpd -t afterwards? What's the output? What's in the Vhosts_ispconfig.conf file?

We tested FP only with Apache1, so I don't know if it works with Apache2.

Thank You for Your response Falko!

It may be an ugly fix, but I think I solved the problem for now... The problem seemed to be that the debian testing package for apache2 is compiled with the HTTPD_ROOT directive empty, so a httpd -V just generated this:


Server version: Apache/2.0.55
Server built: Aug 6 2006 00:17:59
Server's Module Magic Number: 20020903:11
Architecture: 64-bit
Server compiled with....
-D APACHE_MPM_DIR="server/mpm/prefork"
-D APR_HAS_SENDFILE
-D APR_HAS_MMAP
-D APR_HAVE_IPV6 (IPv4-mapped addresses enabled)
-D APR_USE_SYSVSEM_SERIALIZE
-D APR_USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZE
-D SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT
-D APR_HAS_OTHER_CHILD
-D AP_HAVE_RELIABLE_PIPED_LOGS
-D HTTPD_ROOT=""
-D SUEXEC_BIN="/usr/lib/apache2/suexec2"
-D DEFAULT_PIDLOG="/var/run/apache2.pid"
-D DEFAULT_SCOREBOARD="logs/apache_runtime_status"
-D DEFAULT_LOCKFILE="/var/run/apache2/accept.lock"
-D DEFAULT_ERRORLOG="logs/error_log"
-D AP_TYPES_CONFIG_FILE="/etc/apache2/mime.types"
-D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="/etc/apache2/apache2.conf"


I edited the file /root/ispconfig/scripts/lib/config.lib.php and changed the line
$serverroot = "ServerRoot ".shell_exec("httpd -V | grep HTTPD_ROOT | cut -f2 -d'\"'");
to
$serverroot = "ServerRoot \"/etc/apache2\"";
Now it's all good! But i still hate Frontpage Extensions... ;)

No, the ISPConfig support for FP does not appear to include apache2. I had to edit /root/ispconfig/scripts/lib/config.lib.php, and add "-t apache2.0" to every command concerning the owsadm.exe. A minor fix for a future release perhaps?

I've added it to the bug list.
