[Bug 603192] [NEW] install of libapache2-mod-php5 may not result in enabled php

[Scott Moser]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apache2

On a fresh ec2 instance of maverick i386, I tried:
$ sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5

That went fine, ending with:
| Setting up apache2-mpm-prefork (2.2.15-5ubuntu1) ...
| * Starting web server apache2
|   ...done.
| Setting up php5-common (5.3.2-1ubuntu5) ...
| Setting up libapache2-mod-php5 (5.3.2-1ubuntu5) ...
| 
| Creating config file /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini with new version
|  * Reloading web server config apache2
|   ...done.
| Processing triggers for libc-bin ...
| ldconfig deferred processing now taking place

However, php files were not being processed until a subsequent apache
restart (or reload).

I suspect the problem is a race condition in /etc/init.d/apache2.
In this install case, apache is started, and very soon after the configuration is reloaded.

I was able to recreate the failure outside of install by:

$ sudo sh -xc 'service apache2 stop;
  sleep 3;
  a2dismod php5;
  service apache2 start;
  a2enmod php5;
  service apache2 reload;'
