Ticket #1471 (Closed: fixed)
Install scripts break on Debian 3.1 (Sarge)

Description by paul:
Debian's apache executable is named "apache", and the config file is "/etc/apache/httpd.conf". The install scripts first look for the apache binary, and then assume that the configuration file is named "{binary}.conf". This causes the installation to fail with a weird error like:
Preparing install scripts...Invalid apache configuration files. Aborting. executable httpds not found in /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games
Contact Ben for access to a Debian system so you can test it out.
The problem is located in .install_conf/check4_functions, function check4_apache(), which starts on line 611. When I changed line 667 from:
conf_file=${apache_bin_name}.conf
to:
conf_file=httpd.conf
it started working.
