[Bug 1268588] [NEW] apach2 does not read virtual host file with period in filename

[Emmanuel]

Public bug reported:

OS Version: Ubuntu 13.10, release: 13.10
Apache version: Apache/2.4.6 (Ubuntu), Built: Dec 5 2013 18:33:15

Bug: Virtual hosts configuration saved inside files with period/dot
(apart from the .conf part) in filename are not processed, e.g.
/etc/apache2/sites-available/mysite.com.conf

What happens: Apache2.4 does not load the virtual hosts
What is expected: Apache2.4 should load the virtual hosts

The a2ensite and a2dissite commands will see the files and work
correctly to create/remove the symlinks in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/

However, apache2 does not appear to read the file, there is no error
related to the virtual hosts even with apache -S

if the file is renamed as mysite.conf, apache will load the virtual host
correctly. No other change is needed and there does not appear to be any
requirement in Apache 2.4 documentation that requires the files not to
use period/dots in the filename
