[Bug 953081] [NEW] libapache2-mod-php5 postinst script does not enable module

[James Page]

Public bug reported:

The postinst maintainer script for libapache2-mod-php5 correctly enabled
the php5 apache module; however the reload_apache function does a force-
reload:

reload_apache()
{
    if apache2ctl configtest 2>/dev/null; then
        invoke-rc.d apache2 force-reload || true
    else
        echo "Your apache2 configuration is broken, so we're not restarting it for you."
    fi
}

I don't think this is sufficient to enable the php5 module; this can be
seen when installing lamp-server as follows:

sudo tasksel install lamp-server
sudo echo "<? $world=\"Hello World!\"; echo $world; ?>" > /var/www/test.php
wget http://localhost:80/test.php

test.php is returned unprocessed.

Restarting apache resolves this issue.
