Weblog entry #120 for Steve
See all weblog entries made by Steve.
Today I released my first two security advisories as a full member of the security team, with help from Joey + Moritz. They would have been released on Friday only the timing was bad to get everything organised.
These were DSA 1131 - apache and DSA 1132 - apache2 for the mod_rewrite bug.
Now I have to remember not to become evil and root all your boxes ;)

It seems you have two errors:
Preparing to replace apache 1.3.33-6sarge1 (using .../apache_1.3.33-6sarge2_i386.deb) ... Stopping web server: apacheNo process in pidfile `/var/run/apache.pid' found running; none killed. .
That means that there is a PID file for Apache 1.3.x present, but there is no matching process. Harmleess.
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/apache_1.3.33-6sarge2_i386.deb (--unpack): unable to install (supposed) new info file `/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/postinst': Is a directory Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/apache_1.3.33-6sarge2_i386.deb
The way I read that is either that you have a corrupt file and that it is trying to unpack the postinst file as a directory or that there is an issue with an info file being treated as a directory?
Hard to say what is going wrong.
To be honest I'd probably run:
apt-get remove apache apt-get install --reinstall apache
I've not had any other reports of breakage, so assuming it is a corrupt download seems sensible enough so far...

Removing apache ...
dpkg: error processing apache (--remove):
unable to delete control info file `/var/lib/dpkg/info/apache.postinst': Is a directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
apache
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
mmmm

That is broken!
The file /var/lib/dpkg/info/apache.postinst is a file in the official package and not a directory.
Run:
rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/info/apache.postinst echo "#!/bin/sh" > /var/lib/dpkg/info/apache.postinst chmod 755 /var/lib/dpkg/info/apache.postinst
Then try again.

Do you have such a file? Could you post it somewhere so that i can get it and test with it?

apt-get -f install

If a preinst or postinst file is corrupt then this will not help - since adding, removing, or upgrading the package will execute those scripts .. and if they fail then nothing will help.
Still it seems like Oxtan got it sorted now :)

[code] apt-get remove --purge apache[/code]
and it was removed. So I installed apache2 packet. But when I try to run my php files on my browser, it does'nt works, it shows me "save to disk" window.
Someone said that php can not see the extensions. How can I solve this problem?
PS: I installed php+apache+mysql by this codes;
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-auth-mysql
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5
sudo apt-get install mysql-client-5.0
sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.0
sudo apt-get install php5
sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
PS-2: after tihs codes mysql did not work. it showed me an error about root access. And I solved this problem too by this codes; (you should be root)
1-)$mysql -u root
2-)mysql>UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('sizinşifreniz') WHERE User='root';
3-mysql>FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
4-)mysql>quit;

[code]
# This is here for backwards compatability reasons and to support
# installing 3rd party modules directly via apxs2, rather than
# through the /etc/apache2/mods-{available,enabled} mechanism.
#
#LoadModule mod_placeholder /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_placeholder.so
[/code]
what should I do now? Thanks..
