Description of problem: Please move the | LoadModule proxy_ajp_module modules/mod_proxy_ajp.so instruction from /etc/httpd/conf.d/proxy_ajp.conf into the main httpd.conf. On most of my servers I disable the proxy modules and having it in separate files requires touching multiple files. Alternatives: * move the proxy_ajp stuff into an own package which can be installed on demand only.

Thanks for the feedback. A loaded but unused/unconfigured modules generally have no effect on the run-time behaviour of server; "ease of disabling" is not really a particularly compelling argument here. proxy_ajp does not alone warrant a separate subpackage due to either size or functionality. It is somewhat arbitrary having the proxy_ajp config separated, agreed. But this isn't harmful and lacking sufficient motivation to change it again, I'll leave it as-is for the time being.
I do not want to load unused modules (mod_proxy in this case), because: * httpd will require more memory * it might open security leaks It is a good practice to enable only features which are really used. So, please add at least the '<IfModule mod_proxy>' block.
Agreed - this drives me absolutely bonkers having to remove/rename the proxy_ajp.conf file every time there is an httpd update. Good security practice demands not loading unused code in the server so not loading the proxy module is absolutely the right thing to do for most people and making that hard by being too lazy to add an IfModule guard to proxy_ajp.conf is just silly.

In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained and closing them. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LifeCycle/EOL If this bug is still open against Fedora Core 1 through 6, thirty days from now, it will be closed 'WONTFIX'. If you can reporduce this bug in the latest Fedora version, please change to the respective version. If you are unable to do this, please add a comment to this bug requesting the change. Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we are following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.

still there
This is still an issue, and I have a good trivial fix. The attached proxy_ajp.conf file disables proxy_ajp if mod_proxy has been disabled, using an IfModule clause.
Created attachment 317157 [details] A proxy_ajp.conf that fixes the problem.
Hi Joe, Are plans to fix this bug? Thanks, John
BTW, this affects the OLPC School Server. If a f9 update appears with this tiny tiny fix, it saves me from having to ship a custom httpd.
The attachment looks like what's in the stock F8 install. Did something change since then, or did you attach the wrong file?
Created attachment 317161 [details] The correct file
Sorry - picked the file from the wrong directory. Correct file uploaded and double checked...
Ping Apache maintainers - this is a trivial fix :-)
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Ping Apache maintainers - this is present in F9 F10 and rawhide - save it from autoclosing! - this is a trivial fix :-) - a good patch is attached
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
