• Bug#1108939: apache2: logrotate conf uses invoke-rc.d that might be inh

    From Nicolas George@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jul 8 12:40:01 2025
    Package: apache2
    Version: 2.4.62-1~deb12u2
    Severity: normal

    Dear Maintainer,

    The logrotate snippet for apache2 says:

    postrotate
    if pgrep -f ^/usr/sbin/apache2 > /dev/null; then
    invoke-rc.d apache2 reload 2>&1 | logger -t apache2.logrotate
    fi
    endscript

    It is possible that invoke-rc.d is inhibited by
    policy-rcd-declarative-deny-all or an equivalent solution but apache2
    was enabled and started explicitly.

    In that case, log rotation should happen, but it does not.

    Since the call is already wrapped in a test that apache2 is running, I
    suggest to replace “invoke-rc.d apache2 reload” by “apache2ctl graceful”.

    Regards,

    -- Configuration Files:
    /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf changed:
    <VirtualHost *:80>
    # The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
    # the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
    # redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
    # specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
    # match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
    # value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
    # However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.

    DocumentRoot /var/www/html
    # Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
    # error, crit, alert, emerg.
    # It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
    # modules, e.g.
    #LogLevel info ssl:warn

    # For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
    # enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
    # include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
    # following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
    # after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
