Bug 471898

This is most probably:

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45994

which is two separate issues in Fedora context:

1) packaging issue, httpd should Require: apr-ldap

2) code issue, httpd should not segfault on this error path

I mean apr-util-ldap; and to fix the problem, you can install apr-util-ldap, in any case.

Thank you, installing apr-util-ldap indeed fix the problem.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

More information and reason for this action is here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

We should add apr-util-ldap as a dependency to httpd.

Confirmed problem and solution here:
F10 with httpd-2.2.10-2.i386

They also seem to be having the same problem on Solaris - see here:

*** Bug 474748 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

We have just wasted 3 hours on this bug. It's OUTRAGEOUS that a bug like this which can be fixed in 5 minutes by any packager by just adding a dependency to the RPM is sitting unattended for *3* months since it's been first reported.

Please have this fixed before it "hit the news".

Uh, it was fixed in rawhide over one month ago:

* Thu Jan 22 2009 Joe Orton <jorton> 2.2.11-6
- Require: apr-util-ldap (#471898)
- init script changes: pass pidfile to status(), use status() in
  condrestart (#480602), support try-restart as alias for
  condrestart
- change /etc/httpd/run symlink to have destination /var/run/httpd,
  and restore "run/httpd.conf" as default PidFile (#478688)

Joe, could you please backport this to F-10?

In the future, it would be nice if we could split out the mod_authnz_ldap
module to a separate package, so we can make that one only depend on ldap.

For the impatient, I built binary packages with this bugfix applied:

  http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1211563

I did not commit the patch to CVS yet to let Joe comment on it first:

Thanks a lot Joe. Reporters, you can speed the release of the package as an official update by getting it from updates-testing, checking that it works, and then voting for it at the page Joe linked to (you have to log in with your FAS account before voting, the log-in link's on the left hand side of the page). https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Updates_Testing has info on setting up updates-testing.

It works for me.  The dependency with apr-util-ldap is there.
