From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020205 Description of problem: As of the most recent apache-1.3.22-2 (in 7.2 updates) the $OPTIONS shell variable is no longer sourced from /etc/sysconfig/apache as it was in earlier versions. This breaks add-ons which may have depended upon this useful behavior. The variable is still referred to on the command line, but no longer sourced, so it looks like an unintentional omission rather than a functionality change. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.create apache options in /etc/sysconfig/apache 2./etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start 3.options are not respected Additional info:
