Description Remi Collet 2014-03-27 11:16:29 UTC

Currently php-fpm package have to create the "apache" user in its scriplet, which is a bit messy.

Proposal: create a new httpd-filesystem subpackage
- ownership of config tree
- creation of the apache user

It will make even more sense with upcoming support for SetHandler to redirect php script to php-fpm service.

So "most" web applications (those not using http authentification) will work out-the box with apache + mod_php OR php-fpm.

So php-fpm could drop a configuration file in apache tree, without having to require httpd, but only httpd-filesystem (lot of users only want nginx + php-fpm).

Comment 1 Joe Orton 2014-03-27 11:23:59 UTC

To flesh this out.  We'd:

1) Add an httpd-filesystem subpackage.

2) Move to httpd-filesystem:

/etc/httpd
/etc/httpd/conf.d
/etc/httpd/conf.modules.d (?)

and also httpd's %pre

... anything else? %{docroot} and %{docroot}/*, /run/httpd?

3) Make httpd Requires(pre): httpd-filesystem.

Anything I'm missing?

Comment 2 Joe Orton 2014-03-27 11:26:55 UTC

To be clear only the directory ownership would move, not the contents of those directories.

Comment 3 Alexander Bokovoy 2014-03-27 11:55:34 UTC

Looks fine from FreeIPA point of view.

Comment 4 Peter Lemenkov 2014-03-27 12:13:06 UTC

Love this idea. This also helps to some some issues with other packages, most notably nagios.

probably not usefull. Any module will "really" require httpd.

Yes:
 /var/www/
 /var/www/html

 /usr/share/httpd/icons/ for application wanting to add some icons, which be used by apache if installed, without requiring httpd.

Comment 6 Remi Collet 2014-06-25 06:58:48 UTC

Is it possible to apply this change for Fedora 21 ?

Comment 7 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2014-06-30 09:53:24 UTC

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 8 Jan Kaluža 2014-07-07 11:07:45 UTC

Should be done in <http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=7111489>. Please check this build, I can still do further changes before Fedora 21 if needed.

Currently the package contains:
