Subject: libapache-mod-php4: Apache doesn't use the right php.ini when starting

Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2007 17:01:54 +0200

Package: libapache-mod-php4
Version: 6:4.4.4-9
Severity: normal

Hello,
since an upgrade off my debian testing, on 2007-04-11
I get permanently many errors of this kind in my apache error logs :
mod_mime_magic: invalid type 0 in mconvert().

I looked into bugs.debian.org and I found a corresponding bug report : 357373 
unfortunately, the publication date for this bug shows obvously that it cannot be the same,
furthermore, this bug was initialy linked to the libmagic1 package, then to the file package,
and finaly to the php4 package. Though it's an apache bug.

Here are some precisions :
If I run :
php4 -c /etc/php4/apache/php.ini 
or
php4 -c /etc/php4/cli/php.ini
or with any well configured php.ini, I don't get any error.

If I run 
php4 -c /etc/php.ini
or with an inexistant or bad configured php.ini, 
I get :
PHP Warning:  mime_magic: type search/400       \\input         text/x-tex invalid in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning:  mime_magic: type search/400       \\section       text/x-tex invalid in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning:  mime_magic: type search/400       \\setlength     text/x-tex invalid in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning:  mime_magic: type search/400       \\documentstyle text/x-tex invalid in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning:  mime_magic: type search/400       \\chapter       text/x-tex invalid in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning:  mime_magic: type search/400       \\documentclass text/x-tex invalid in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning:  mime_magic: type regex            [Cc]onstant[[:space:]]+[Ss]tory text/x-inform invalid in Unknown on line 0

And when I start or restart Apache either with apachectl restart or /etc/init.d/apache restart, I get exactly the same messages :

[Tue Apr 17 16:58:06 2007] [error] mod_mime_magic: type regex\t\t[Cc]onstant[[:space:]]+[Ss]tory\ttext/x-inform invalid 

I think it means that, when starting, Apache doesn't use the right php.ini config file, so php run with the default values
which aren't the good ones.

Hi,

I just ran into this myself, and it's caused by Apache2.2's mime_magic
module. The offending lines are in /usr/share/file/magic.mime,
commenting them (by prepending a #) causes the PHP warnings to go away.

ciao,

The libapache-mod-php4 package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental. I am reassigning its bugs to the libapache2-mod-php5 package. Please
have a look at them, and close them if they don't apply to
libapache2-mod-php5 anymore.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.
